What are the common errors taxpayers should avoid?
The top three common tax errors: • Claiming incorrect estimated tax payments. • Deducting the wrong amount for the standard or itemized deductions. • Selecting the wrong amount of tax from the tax table on paper tax returns. To avoid these errors, we suggest taxpayers: • Go to ftb.ca.gov and access their account to verify the amounts we have on record for their estimated tax payments, wage and withholding information, and current balance due. • Accurately add and transfer their total deductions to the correct line of the tax return. • Double-check that they transferred the correct amount of tax from the tax table.
