Thousands of companies get warning on taxes
By Claudia Buck, Sacramento Bee
More than 40,000 California businesses that have not filed their 2008 state income tax returns are getting warning letters from the Franchise Tax Board.
The notices give businesses 30 days to file a return or show why there is no tax filing requirement. Businesses that disregard the notices could face penalties, interest and fees.
In this region, the notices went out to 1,452 businesses in Sacramento County; 173 in El Dorado; 312 in Placer; 130 in Yolo and 59 in Yuba.
