You should send your paper tax package, including Form FTB 3552 (Identity Theft Affidavit), directly to the Filing Compliance Bureau. This specialized unit handles identity theft reports and ensures your verified return is processed correctly after a rejection. 

 

Mailing Address for Identity Theft Returns

Mail your completed return, the affidavit, and your supporting identity documents (like a copy of your ID or social security card) to:

Filing Compliance Bureau MS F151
Franchise Tax Board
PO Box 1468
Sacramento, CA 95812-1468 

Important Tips for Your Paper Package

  • You must include a copy of at least one document to verify your identity, such as a driver's license, passport, or Social Security card.
  • If you received a specific notice from the FTB (like a 4734D), include a copy of that notice in your package and use any specific address or fax number listed on it.
  • You can also fax your affidavit and supporting documents to (916) 843-0561, but you should still mail the physical paper return to ensure it is officially filed.
  • Ensure your paper return has an original signature; California generally requires wet signatures for paper-filed returns
