Need to re-submit hard copy of taxes to California Franchise Tax Board

Hello,

 

As outlined here...

 

https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/after-you-file/discussion/re-never-got-my-2017-state-tax-refund-failed-to-sign-paperwork-before-submitting/01/24754#M4448

 

I just printed out my 2017 tax return, and I need to mail it to the California Franchise Tax Board, because when I originally mailed it in, I forgot to sign the documents.

Can somebody please tell me which specific address I should send it to? I'm sure there's an address listed on the CA FTB Web site, but I suspect they have more than one address, and there might be a suite number or department name I should include for my particular issue.

Also, is there anything in particular I should say in my cover letter in order to make this as simple as possible for the folks who open the mail to understand?

Thank you!

Take a look at your actual CA tax forms in the section near the end that is labeled REFUND OR NO AMOUNT DUE.  The mailing address may be shown right there.

 

The 2019 Form 540 for California shows the following address for mailing tax returns: 

 

FRANCHISE TAX BOARD

PO BOX 942840

SACRAMENTO CA 94240-0001

 

There is nothing specific that you need to include in a cover letter.  You are simply submitting a complete return for processing.  Be sure to include copies of any W-2s or other necessary tax documents with the return.
