  • Amount claimed to owe.
  • Agency selection, such as FTB, EDD, IRS, or other, if provided.

  • To maintain site security, limit spam, and troubleshoot technical issues.

Submission handling

The follow-up form is handled through Netlify Forms. Submissions may be stored in Netlify and may trigger email notifications to the site operator.

Form information may be reviewed by the site operator and may be shared with a small, curated group of licensed Enrolled Agents or service providers for follow-up, if appropriate.

Hosting logs and analytics

The site may use basic analytics, hosting logs, security logs, or similar infrastructure data to understand site usage, maintain security, troubleshoot errors, and improve the site. This may include information such as pages visited, browser or device information, referring pages, timestamps, and approximate location inferred from technical data.

What you can do now

  • Avoid including unnecessary sensitive information in the free-text field.
  • Use the follow-up form if you still want a response after reviewing the guides.
