Ca Edd

[rfk]

Has any one had dealings (collection issue) with the CA EDD? My client has fraud issues and a tab of about $50k. On paper (financial condition) there are losses for the past six months, but EDD is wondering how he is surviving through the daily process, if you will.

He is in the process of filing for BK, but I need to address his EDD issue at the same time. I will be trying to speak to the supervisor of the collections person I am working with, but I know that there is protocol involved with EDD, much more than with the IRS, I believe.

My post here is how to effectively deal with a client whose financial situation, business (this problem stems from a previous business, and he still has a business not related) and personal, can be dealt with regarding getting a reasonable payment each month for my client. EDD does not seem to believe that he cannot afford less than what they are requiring -- $800. My client says that he will pay them $600 or $650, but EDD wants more. I am trying to help my client as well as work with the EDD.

Any help on thoughts would be appreciated.

The problem with EDD audits is that most are trust fund issues, rather than UI etc, so you are dealing with theft of the employee's funds rather than simply not paying your own taxes.

You will need to submit a complete financial statement, such as you would for any tax installment agreement, showing income an living expenses.
It should be sent with this form.

If he's got fraud issues, I can see why EDD feels his statements are less than credible. I don't see why you don't send him to a shyster since fraud is considered criminal.
