AHLSTARZ Tax and Accounting Service -- Numbers, Simplified.

The California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) has announced that personal income tax liabilities may now be paid by pay-by-phone. The pay-by-phone option is a new e-pay option provided by the state's electronic funds transfer (EFT) vendor and allows taxpayers to use the automated clearing house (ACH) debit method to instruct the state to electronically debit a taxpayer's bank account for a specific payment amount. Pay-by-phone cannot be used by group nonresident return/composite filers.
