In January 2022, the Franchise Tax Board (FTB) began an outreach effort by sending Schedule A review letters. FTB will continue the outreach effort by sending review letters in May to taxpayers who reported large Schedule A itemized deductions on their 2019 tax returns that are “significantly higher than expected.”

The purpose of the review letter is to encourage taxpayers to review their 2019 tax return, and current tax years, for any discrepancies.

  • Taxpayers who filed a paper return.
  • Taxpayers who received their tax refund by check regardless of filing method.
  • Taxpayers who had a balance due for their 2020 tax return.
