FTB Suspended Status: Filed Returns, No Response - How to Revive Business?

I found a way to solve FTB business suspension issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITq0dRHfl4s

Ugh, dealing with the FTB is such a pain. I've been there before. Have you tried calling them directly? Sometimes that's the only way to get a response.

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/0KwvDlViV6Q

Here's what you need to do to revive your business status: 1. Confirm receipt of your faxed returns 2. Ask about any outstanding tax liabilities 3. Request a Statement of Account 4. File any missing forms or returns 5. Pay any outstanding balances 6. Request a 'Certificate of Revivor' It's a process, but stay persistent! Good luck!

have u tried sending a follow-up fax? sometimes things get lost in the shuffle

I swear, dealing with the FTB is like trying to nail jello to a wall. 🤦‍♂️ Good luck, OP!

Quick question - did you use certified mail when you sent your returns? It's always good to have proof of delivery when dealing with government agencies.

Have you checked the FTB website? Sometimes they update the status there before sending any official communication.

man, the whole system is broken. why does it have to be so complicated just to run a business? 😤

Hey OP, how long has your business been suspended? Just curious about the timeline here.
