Insider Access to our State Tax Agencies.. an Exclusive CSEA Event
Be prepared for tax season 2018 by attending the September 22 State Tax Agencies Liaison Meeting (STALM). At STALM, all four California tax agencies (FTB, CDTFA-BOE, EDD, SOS) receive questions on issues and concerns that CSEA Members have identified in advance. Top agency representatives, who have the authority to impact policies and procedures, answer your questions during the meeting. This is an EXCLUSIVE CSEA Event!
Special Bonus: Attendees will receive a state tax agencies contact list, chock full of important names, emails, and phone numbers – you WILL use this time and time again.
Here are just a few of the topics we’ll be discussing:
- The impact of new Power of Attorney and MyFTB procedures on practitioners and clients.
- The profile of an acceptable offer amount for the FTB business OIC solution for suspended entities.
- How the BOE restructuring will affect you and your clients.
- How the California Taxpayers’ Bill of Rights will be applied to both the CDTFA and the Office of Tax Appeals (OTA).
- The effects of the EDD e-pay electronic mandate on the newly emerging cannabis industry.
- Understanding SOS’ new online portal and clarification of California business entity suspensions by the FTB or the SOS

E-Services Outage Postponed
The IRS today announced that a planned outage of all e-Services tools and applications has been postponed. The extended delay will allow for some additional improvements to take place in the final product.
When a new date is set, we will issue a follow up Quick Alert. Until further notice, all e-Services tools and applications are available to registered users, except for AIR users. The Affordable Care Act Information Return (AIR) participants will be unable to submit new or change existing Transmitter Control Code applications until this platform upgrade takes place.
The planned outage, when it occurs, will allow for the e-Services suite of tools to be transferred to a new digital platform. The new platform will conclude a years-long effort to upgrade the technology for e-Services tools.
E-services Outage August 17th through 21st
From the office of the IRS Stakeholder liaison
FYI: There will be a planned outage of all e-Services tools from 6 p.m. Thursday, August 17 through 6 a.m. Monday August 21.
During this period, users will be unable to access the Transcript Delivery System (TDS) and Secure Object Repository (SOR), Registration and TIN Matching. All applications also will be offline until August 22.
Affordable Care Act Information Return (AIR) filers may resume submission of applications for Transmitter Control Codes starting on August 22. (The application process for AIR users has been offline since July because of the e-Services platform transition).
Also on August 21, a redesigned landing page for e-Services will launch with a new look and feel.
The scheduled outage will allow us to complete the transition of e-Services to a new platform that will improve the look and feel of applications and complete a multi-year technological upgrade. We will also perform testing during that four-day period.
We apologize for the inconvenience but we wanted to give you early notice so you could plan accordingly. A Quick Alert has also been sent, and we’ll keep you informed as we move forward.
