Use form FTB 3581, Tax Deposit Refund and Transfer Request, to: • Request the refund of all or part of a tax deposit, • Transfer all or part of a tax deposit, or • Convert a pending deficiency protest or appeal to a claim for refund. In general, you can request the refund or the transfer of a tax deposit at any time before the Franchise Tax Board (FTB) applies the deposit amount to satisfy a final tax liability. Convert Pending Deficiency Action to a Claim for Refund If you use this form to transfer a tax deposit amount to another taxable year, or if you have a tax deposit amount on account, and you wish to convert any pending deficiency protest or appeal to a claim for refund before there is a final tax liability for that taxable year, you must provide a statement in writing asking the FTB to convert the administrative deficiency dispute to an administrative claim dispute. To satisfy the written statement requirement, you must file a separate form FTB 3581 for that taxable year and check the option that states: “Convert deficiency administrative action to action on a refund claim.” When the FTB receives form FTB 3581, the FTB will finalize the deficiency, and apply the tax deposit amount toward your deficiency amount, including interest and any amnesty penalty (if applicable). If the tax deposit amount is not enough to pay the final deficiency amount, including penalties, fees, and interest, the claim becomes an informal claim. You will receive a bill for the remaining amount due. The FTB cannot act on the claim until the tax liability for that taxable year is fully paid. The six-month “deemed denial” period does not start to run until the tax liability for that taxable year is fully paid, and the informal claim is a perfected claim.

About the Individual Income Tax

The IRS and most states collect a personal income tax, which is paid throughout the year via tax withholding or estimated income tax payments.

Most taxpayers are required to file a yearly income tax return in April to both the Internal Revenue Service and their state's revenue department, which will result in either a tax refund of excess withheld income or a tax payment if the withholding does not cover the taxpayer's entire liability. Every taxpayer's situation is different - please consult a CPA or licensed tax preparer to ensure that you are filing the correct tax forms!
