San Diego County taxpayers facing IRS or FTB collection
If you live in the City of San Diego, Chula Vista, Oceanside, Escondido, Carlsbad, or any of the other 13 incorporated cities in San Diego County, you are inside one of the most distinctive federal-tax environments in California. The active-duty population concentrated at Naval Base San Diego, Naval Air Station North Island, and Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton pulls in the combat-zone exclusion under IRC §112, the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, and the Military Spouses Residency Relief Act on a scale unmatched elsewhere in the state. Sorrento Valley and La Jolla biotech employees at Illumina, Pfizer, and the broader Qualcomm ecosystem deal with RSU vest spikes and ISO Alternative Minimum Tax exposure under IRC §55. Cross-border commuters between Tijuana and the South Bay generate residency-allocation questions the FTB scrutinizes closely under Cal. Rev. & Tax. Code §17014. If you have an IRS or FTB balance, an audit notice, or a wage levy from the EDD, this page walks through what San Diego representation looks like.

Why San Diego County tax matters require a California-licensed firm
San Diego County is the second-most-populous county in California and one of the most federally-touched. The county hosts the largest concentration of U.S. Navy assets on the West Coast, the largest Marine Corps base on the West Coast at Camp Pendleton, the second-largest biotech cluster in the country in Sorrento Valley and La Jolla, and a 20-mile international border with Mexico. Every one of those factors changes how federal and California tax law applies to the person sitting across the desk from us.
Victory Tax Lawyers, LLP is a California-licensed tax-law firm. Both managing attorneys — Parham Khorsandi, Cal Bar #266658, and Amir Boroumand, Cal Bar #269570 — are members of the State Bar of California in active standing and admitted to practice before the United States Tax Court. We represent San Diego County clients directly before the California Franchise Tax Board, CDTFA, EDD, and the California Office of Tax Appeals — no Power-of-Attorney workaround through out-of-state counsel, no referral chain.
On the federal side, our Tax Court bar admission has nationwide reach. A San Diego County petitioner designating the U.S. Tax Court's San Diego trial city under Tax Court Rule 140 hears the case at the Edward J. Schwartz Federal Building at 880 Front Street, blocks from the IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center and the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California. We appear at all three.
The pages that follow lay out the practice areas, the venue map, settlement ranges from prior cases, the seven-step engagement process, and 12 FAQs answering what San Diego County taxpayers actually ask.
Your tax rights as a San Diego County taxpayer
Federal taxpayer rights are codified across the Internal Revenue Code and summarized in IRS Publication 1. California layers its own rights through the FTB Taxpayer Bill of Rights at Cal. Rev. & Tax. Code Part 10.7 and parallel provisions for CDTFA and EDD. Military taxpayers in San Diego County add a third layer through the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act and the Military Spouses Residency Relief Act.
Right to representation (federal)
Under IRC §7521(b)(2), an IRS examiner or collection officer must suspend an interview when you state you wish to consult an authorized representative. Form 2848 puts a tax attorney between you and the IRS for the remainder of the matter.
Right to representation (California)
FTB Form 3520-PIT or 3520-BE appoints counsel before the Franchise Tax Board. CDTFA Form 392 covers sales-tax matters; EDD DE 48 covers payroll. Once on file, every notice routes to your attorney.
Right to Collection Due Process
A Notice of Federal Tax Lien (IRC §6320) or Final Notice of Intent to Levy (IRC §6330) opens a 30-day window to request a CDP hearing on Form 12153. A timely CDP request pauses federal collection and preserves Tax Court review.
Right to U.S. Tax Court review
A Notice of Deficiency triggers a 90-day petition window under IRC §6213(a). San Diego County petitioners can designate San Diego as the place of trial, with sessions at the Edward J. Schwartz Federal Building.
Right to combat-zone tolling (military)
Under IRC §7508, servicemembers serving in a combat zone receive automatic deadline extensions for filing, paying, and most IRS deadlines — including the 90-day Tax Court petition window. The extension runs the deployment period plus 180 days. The FTB recognizes a parallel extension under Cal. Rev. & Tax. Code §18570.
Right to a federal OIC
Under IRC §7122, the IRS may accept less than the full liability where doubt as to collectibility, doubt as to liability, or effective tax administration justifies settlement. Filed on Form 656 with Form 433-A(OIC) or 433-B(OIC).
Right to a California OIC
FTB compromise authority sits at Cal. Rev. & Tax. Code §19443. CDTFA runs a parallel offer program under §6832. EDD compromise sits at Cal. Unemp. Ins. Code §1735 and adjoining sections.
Right to a Collection Statute
IRC §6502 gives the IRS 10 years from assessment to collect. The California parallel under Cal. Rev. & Tax. Code §19255 runs 20 years — double the federal tail. Pull both transcripts before negotiating.
How Victory Tax Lawyers helps San Diego County taxpayers
Federal & California Offer in Compromise
We file federal Form 656 with Form 433-A(OIC) under IRC §7122, and FTB Form 4905 PIT or BE with the parallel financial under Cal. Rev. & Tax. Code §19443. The two reviews run on different Reasonable Collection Potential math, and California treats San Diego coastal real-estate equity (Carlsbad, Encinitas, Del Mar, La Jolla, Coronado) tougher than the IRS does.
Installment Agreements (IRS & FTB)
Streamlined IRS IAs under $50,000, Non-Streamlined IAs above with Form 433-F disclosure, and Partial Pay IAs under IRC §6159 running through the CSED. FTB parallel plans under Form 3567; CDTFA and EDD have their own structures.
Lien release and withdrawal
A federal NFTL under IRC §6321 and FTB State Tax Liens under Cal. Gov. Code §7170 attach to San Diego County real property and are recorded with the San Diego County Assessor / Recorder / County Clerk. We pursue release after payment, certificate of discharge, subordination for refinance, and lien withdrawal under Fresh Start for IAs under $25,000.
Levy release (IRS, FTB, EDD)
Federal wage and bank levies under IRC §6331 stop with CNC, an accepted IA, OIC processing, or a timely CDP. FTB Earnings Withholding Orders under Cal. Rev. & Tax. Code §18670 and bank levies under §18670.5 release under analogous resolutions. Federal bank levies hold 21 days; FTB holds 10 business days.
Audit and exam defense
IRS correspondence, office, and field audits handled at the San Diego TAC. FTB residency audits under Cal. Rev. & Tax. Code §17014. CDTFA sales-tax audits on cash-intensive Gaslamp restaurants, Pacific Beach surf retailers, and South Bay convenience stores. EDD AB 5 audits on contractors classified as 1099 across construction, trucking, and aerospace contractors.
Penalty abatement
Federal First-Time Penalty Abatement and reasonable-cause requests under IRC §6651. FTB waivers under Cal. Rev. & Tax. Code §19131 and §19132. Reasonable-cause for San Diego County filers affected by 2017 Lilac Fire, 2020 Valley Fire, 2024 atmospheric-river flooding, and active-duty deployment under IRC §7508.
Twelve tax issues we handle for San Diego County clients
Federal and California state practice areas framed for the matters that walk through the door from San Diego, Chula Vista, Oceanside, Camp Pendleton, La Jolla, Sorrento Valley, and the South Bay.
Military combat-zone exclusion claims
Enlisted servicemembers deployed from Naval Base San Diego or Camp Pendleton are entitled to the full combat-zone pay exclusion under IRC §112. Officer pay excludes up to the highest enlisted pay rate plus imminent-danger pay. We reconstruct and amend returns where the exclusion was missed.
Military spouse residency (MSRRA)
The Military Spouses Residency Relief Act allows a military spouse to retain the servicemember's state of legal residence even when physically present in California on PCS orders. FTB residency adjustments on military spouse W-2 income are common and reversible.
SCRA tax-collection protection
The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act caps interest at 6 percent on pre-service tax debts and stays civil collection actions during active duty. We file SCRA defenses on IRS and FTB collection matters for active-duty San Diego County servicemembers.
Biotech ISO & AMT exposure
Sorrento Valley and La Jolla biotech employees at Illumina, Pfizer, and adjacent firms who exercise Incentive Stock Options without selling create a preference item under IRC §55. A six-figure AMT bill on paper gains is common. We pursue Disqualifying Dispositions, AMT credit carryforwards, and reasonable-cause penalty defense.
Qualcomm and tech RSU vests
RSU vests pile ordinary income onto Qualcomm and Silicon-Valley-South W-2s. Employer withholding at flat supplemental rates underwithholds the all-in 37 percent federal plus California top brackets. April balances reach six figures. We file amended returns and structure payment plans.
Cross-border Mexico residency
South Bay residents commuting to Tijuana or splitting residence between San Diego and Baja California face dual-residency questions. The FTB nine-factor test at Cal. Rev. & Tax. Code §17014 and the U.S.-Mexico tax treaty interact unevenly. We document the facts before the FTB triggers a residency audit.
FTB departing-resident audits
San Diego County residents who moved to Nevada or Texas often trip the nine-factor domicile test under Cal. Rev. & Tax. Code §17014. Properties retained in Coronado, La Jolla, or Rancho Santa Fe weigh heavily. We document driver's-license changes, voter registration, and physical-presence days.
Trust Fund Recovery Penalty
Under IRC §6672, the IRS reaches owners of San Diego County LLCs and S-corps for unpaid payroll trust funds after Form 4180 interviews. EDD asserts the parallel state piece under Cal. Unemp. Ins. Code §1735.
CDTFA sales-tax audits
Cash-intensive Gaslamp Quarter restaurants, Pacific Beach surf shops, South Bay convenience stores, and Oceanside auto-body shops draw CDTFA mark-up audits. We push back on the test-period methodology before it scales across the audit period.
EDD AB 5 worker-classification
Post-AB 5 and Prop 22, EDD reclassifies 1099 contractors under the ABC test. Common in San Diego County trucking, construction, defense contracting, and entertainment.
Passport revocation defense
IRC §7345 certifications hit San Diego County international consultants, biotech executives traveling to clinical-trial sites abroad, and naval-defense contractors. We decertify before travel.
U.S. Tax Court petitions
A 90-day petition in response to a Notice of Deficiency, designating San Diego as the place of trial. Sessions are held at the Edward J. Schwartz Federal Building, 880 Front Street, San Diego.
Nine common causes of tax debt in San Diego County
1. ISO exercise without sale
A Sorrento Valley biotech engineer exercises Incentive Stock Options at an Illumina or Pfizer subsidiary, holds the shares, and triggers AMT on the spread between exercise price and fair-market value — even though no cash changed hands.
2. RSU vest underwithholding
Qualcomm and adjacent tech employers withhold federal tax on RSU vests at the flat 22 percent supplemental rate. Employees in California's top brackets owe an additional 15 to 20 percent come April, and prior-year balances roll forward.
3. Missed combat-zone exclusion
A Navy sailor or Marine deployed from San Diego or Camp Pendleton files using W-2 box-1 wages without removing the combat-zone exclusion under IRC §112. The result is an inflated assessment that an amended return can recover.
4. Small-business payroll lapses
A Mission Valley restaurant or Carlsbad contractor stops depositing Form 941 trust funds during a slow quarter. The IRS asserts TFRP under IRC §6672 against owners personally; EDD asserts the state side under Cal. Unemp. Ins. Code §1735.
5. Coastal real-estate sales
Carlsbad, Encinitas, Del Mar, La Jolla, and Coronado saw aggressive 2020-2023 appreciation. Investment-property sales without a like-kind exchange under IRC §1031 trigger federal capital gains plus California's ordinary-income treatment at 13.3 percent.
6. FTB residency audit after move
Retired Navy officers and biotech executives relocating to Nevada or Texas often retain a San Diego coastal home, a California medical practice, or family ties — all factors the FTB weighs to assert continuing California domicile under §17014.
7. Cross-border income allocation
South Bay residents earning income on both sides of the Tijuana border face source-rule allocation and U.S.-Mexico treaty questions the IRS and FTB scrutinize. Underreported foreign-source income draws CP2000 notices.
8. ERC clawback exposure
Employee Retention Credit claims filed by promoter mills for San Diego restaurants, dental practices, biotech support firms, and hospitality groups are being clawed back through CP207 and CP207L letters.
9. Wildfire and disaster gaps
Filers in the 2017 Lilac Fire and 2024 atmospheric-river flooding zones missed deadlines. Disaster-zone extensions help during the active period, but penalty stacks accumulate once the window lapses.
Who is on the hook: eight San Diego County liability scenarios
Joint filers (community-property state)
California is a community-property state under Cal. Fam. Code §760. Joint federal returns create joint-and-several liability under IRC §6013(d)(3). One spouse can be pursued for the entire balance — even post-divorce — subject to Innocent Spouse Relief under IRC §6015 and Cal. Rev. & Tax. Code §18533.
Military divorces and tax allocation
San Diego County Superior Court at 330 W. Broadway sees a high volume of military-family dissolutions. Allocation of joint federal liability, the Uniformed Services Former Spouses' Protection Act, and SCRA stays all bear on tax matters. We coordinate with family-law counsel.
Responsible persons for payroll
TFRP under IRC §6672 reaches anyone with check-signing authority who willfully failed to pay over withheld taxes. The California parallel sits at Cal. Unemp. Ins. Code §1735 for EDD payroll personal liability.
CDTFA dual-determinations
CDTFA can issue personal dual-determinations against corporate officers, directors, and LLC members for unremitted sales tax under Cal. Rev. & Tax. Code §6829.
FTB suspended-entity exposure
A San Diego County LLC suspended by FTB under Cal. Rev. & Tax. Code §23301 loses its right to contract or defend in California courts. Officers signing on behalf may incur personal exposure.
Transferee liability
IRC §6901 reaches transferees where the transfer rendered the transferor insolvent and tax debt remains. Common with Prop 19 parent-child transfers of San Diego County real property and family-LLC restructurings.
Successor business liability
Asset purchases continuing a seller's San Diego County operation can carry CDTFA successor liability under Cal. Rev. & Tax. Code §6811-6814 and EDD successor liability under Cal. Unemp. Ins. Code §1731. Buyers protect with clearance letters.
Estate and decedent returns
California has no state estate tax. The decedent's final 1040 and the estate's 1041 are the executor's responsibility, with personal liability under 31 USC §3713(b) for premature distributions. San Diego County Superior Court probate jurisdiction governs the priority of state-tax claims.
What resolution can look like in San Diego County
Debt reduced
An accepted federal OIC settles the IRS liability for less than the full amount. A parallel FTB §19443 compromise can settle the California side. Partial Pay IAs cap recovery at what you can pay through the federal CSED or the FTB 20-year statute. Currently Not Collectible status freezes federal collection while finances stabilize after deployment, ISO bills, or business cycles.
Penalties abated
Federal First-Time Penalty Abatement removes failure-to-file and failure-to-pay penalties for a clean compliance year. Reasonable-cause requests address deployment, fire-disaster periods, serious illness, and preparer reliance. FTB waivers under §19131 and §19132 follow parallel principles.
Liens and levies released
A federal NFTL recorded with the San Diego County Recorder withdraws once a streamlined IA is in place under Fresh Start. FTB State Tax Liens release on payment, compromise, or release-for-cause. Wage and bank levies stop when the matter moves to CNC, IA, or OIC processing.
Outcomes vary. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Each tax case is unique.
Settlement ranges from the firm's case files
The following ranges come from Victory Tax Lawyers cases over the past several years and contribute to the firm's $100M+ aggregate tax-relief figure. Names and identifying facts are removed for confidentiality.
| Matter type | Original liability | Resolution | Approximate result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Installment Agreement | $138,296 | IRC §6159 streamlined IA | $25/month accepted |
| Partial Pay IA | $126,489 | IRC §6159 PPIA through CSED | $50/month accepted |
| Installment Agreement | $128,206 | IRC §6159 streamlined IA | $25/month accepted |
| Partial Pay IA | $116,451 | IRC §6159 PPIA through CSED | $50/month accepted |
| Installment Agreement | $152,296 | IRC §6159 streamlined IA | $25/month accepted |
Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Each tax case is unique and turns on facts, asset position, monthly disposable income, IRS Allowable Living Expense tables, FTB equivalent standards, and the discretion of the assigned Revenue Officer, Settlement Officer, or FTB compromise reviewer. Acceptance rates for federal Offer in Compromise vary widely — the IRS reported a nationwide acceptance rate of roughly 30 to 40 percent in recent years.
Why work with a California-licensed firm on a San Diego County tax matter
A San Diego County tax matter rarely sits in a single forum. A federal RSU underwithholding bill at a Sorrento Valley biotech triggers a parallel California assessment within four years through the federal-state information-exchange agreement. An EDD AB 5 audit on an Oceanside trucking operation often runs alongside an IRS Form 4180 interview for Trust Fund Recovery. An FTB residency audit on a retired Navy commander who relocated to Nevada usually pulls in coastal-property records from the San Diego County Assessor / Recorder / County Clerk. These matters do not stay in their lanes.
Victory Tax Lawyers is admitted in California, headquartered in Los Angeles, and built around this overlap. Parham Khorsandi (Cal Bar #266658) and Amir Boroumand (Cal Bar #269570) appear directly before the FTB, CDTFA, EDD, and OTA, and on the federal side before the IRS and the U.S. Tax Court. The same attorneys handle the whole engagement — no Form 2848 workaround, no referral chain through out-of-state counsel.
California Rule of Professional Conduct 7.1 governs lawyer advertising in the state. No superlatives without verifiable substantiation, no specific dollar guarantees, no testimonials without disclaimers. The firm operates under those rules natively. This page does not promise outcomes, does not promote dollar averages, and does not list testimonials without context.
If your case is purely federal — an IRS audit, a Tax Court petition with San Diego place of trial, an Offer in Compromise — we handle it under Tax Court bar admission, Circular 230, and a Form 2848 Power of Attorney. The California-licensed difference shows up when the state side appears, which it usually does.
The seven steps of a VTL tax-resolution engagement
1
Free consultation
A 30-minute call with an attorney to outline the facts, the IRS or FTB notices received, and realistic resolution options.
2
Engagement letter
A written attorney-client agreement defines scope, fee, and authority. California-bar privilege and federal common-law privilege both attach.
3
Federal & state PoA
Form 2848 filed with the IRS, FTB Form 3520, CDTFA Form 392, or EDD DE 48 filed with the relevant California agency. Notices route to counsel.
4
Transcript investigation
IRS Account Transcripts, Wage-and-Income Transcripts, and Record of Account pulled across all open years. FTB MyFTB, CDTFA, and EDD records pulled. Federal CSED and California 20-year statute dates verified.
5
Strategy memo
A written analysis recommending federal OIC, IA, CNC, audit response, CDP, or Tax Court petition with the FTB, CDTFA, or EDD parallel strategy where applicable.
6
Resolution filed
Federal Forms 656, 433-A, 9423, 12153, or Tax Court Petition. State FTB Form 4905, CDTFA offer, or EDD compromise. Negotiations with Revenue Officers, Settlement Officers, Appeals Officers, FTB analysts, CDTFA supervisors, and OTA hearings handled directly.
7
Compliance close-out
Post-resolution monitoring: quarterly estimates, return filings, and protection against IA default. The case is done when the new pattern is stable, not when the offer is accepted.
Collection statute warning — the California 20-year tail
Under IRC §6502(a), the IRS has ten years from the date of assessment to collect. After the federal Collection Statute Expiration Date, the debt becomes uncollectible by operation of law. Tolling events extend the federal CSED: a pending OIC (extends by OIC pendency plus 30 days), bankruptcy (extends by stay plus six months), Collection Due Process hearings, Innocent Spouse claims, and continuous absence from the United States for six months or more — including a Navy or Marine deployment under IRC §7508 plus six months.
The California side is the opposite of forgiving. Under Cal. Rev. & Tax. Code §19255, the FTB has 20 years from the latest of assessment, due date, or final return filing to collect. That is double the federal CSED. CDTFA collection runs 10 years under §6711 with similar tolling. EDD operates under its own collection window in the Unemployment Insurance Code.
A federal balance assessed in 2016 may approach CSED expiration in 2026, while the FTB equivalent continues to be collectible until 2036. Submitting a federal OIC restarts the federal clock. Sometimes a Partial Pay IA that runs out the federal statute is the better federal play, paired with a separate FTB compromise to address the longer state tail. The two strategies are decided together.
San Diego County venue: federal and state tax forums
A San Diego County tax matter may proceed in any of several federal or state forums depending on the type of liability. Below are the offices, courthouses, and agencies serving the county.
U.S. Tax Court — San Diego trial sessions
The United States Tax Court holds San Diego trial sessions at the Edward J. Schwartz Federal Building, 880 Front Street, San Diego CA 92101. A San Diego County petitioner designates "San Diego, California" as the place of trial on the petition under Tax Court Rule 140.
IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center
The IRS operates a TAC at 880 Front Street, San Diego CA 92101 — in the same federal building complex as the Tax Court trial location and U.S. District Court. Appointments through apps.irs.gov/app/office-locator or 844-545-5640.
U.S. District Court (Southern District of CA)
Federal refund suits and criminal-tax cases proceed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, headquartered at the Schwartz Federal Building, 880 Front Street, San Diego. Appellate review goes to the Ninth Circuit in San Francisco.
San Diego County Superior Court
State-tax civil collection actions and probate-tax matters proceed at the San Diego County Superior Court Hall of Justice, 330 W. Broadway, San Diego CA 92101. The court also hears the family-law matters that intersect with joint federal liability allocation.
San Diego County Treasurer-Tax Collector
The San Diego County Treasurer-Tax Collector handles property-tax billing and collection at 1600 Pacific Highway, Room 162, San Diego CA 92101. Property-tax delinquencies on coastal real estate proceed through this office.
SD County Assessor / Recorder / Clerk
The Assessor / Recorder / County Clerk at 1600 Pacific Highway, Room 103, San Diego CA 92101 administers property valuation under Prop 13 / Prop 19 and records federal NFTLs and FTB State Tax Liens against San Diego County real property.
California FTB San Diego field office
The California Franchise Tax Board operates a San Diego field office. We appear there on residency audits, Notice of Action protests, and FTB compromise filings under Cal. Rev. & Tax. Code §19443.
