2026-01: FTB’s systems are down


The FTB has notified Spidell that their systems are currently down. They have stated that this does not appear to be a security-related issue.

However, FTB staff will not be able to assist taxpayers or tax professionals while their systems are down because they will be unable to access taxpayer information.

We will send another Flash E-mail when their systems are back up.
