The California Franchise Tax Board administers personal income tax and corporate franchise tax for California. LA residents face the highest state income tax rate in the nation — 13.3% on top earners — plus federal IRS obligations. The FTB and IRS share data extensively, so an IRS adjustment often triggers an FTB review.

Learn MoreCommon Tax Problems for Los Angeles Residents
While Los Angeles taxpayers face the same IRS code as everyone else, certain issues are more common in the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim metro area due to the local economy, cost of living, and industry mix.
Entertainment Industry & Royalty Income
LA's entertainment industry creates complex tax situations: residual income, royalties, multi-state filming income, and loan-out corporations. The IRS scrutinizes entertainment industry returns closely — misclassified income, improper expense deductions, and failure to report all 1099 income are common audit triggers for LA creatives and industry professionals.
Self-Employment & Gig Economy Tax Debt
LA has one of the largest self-employed and gig workforces in the US — over 1.5 million people. Freelancers, rideshare drivers, content creators, and independent contractors are responsible for self-employment tax on top of income tax. Many fall behind on quarterly estimated payments and face substantial IRS balances with failure-to-pay and failure-to-file penalties.
Real Estate & 1031 Exchange Scrutiny
LA's high property values mean even modest real estate transactions can trigger significant capital gains. 1031 exchange failures, unreported rental income, short-term rental (Airbnb/VRBO) tax obligations, and depreciation recapture are common IRS audit triggers for LA property owners.
CA FTB & IRS Dual Enforcement
The California FTB is one of the most aggressive state tax agencies in the country and shares taxpayer data extensively with the IRS. LA residents often face simultaneous collection actions from both agencies. Resolving a federal IRS issue is only half the battle — the FTB may pursue its own lien, levy, or wage garnishment on the same tax debt.
