Problem
Filing taxes can be a challenging, complicated process. It is even more frustrating for individuals, who, through no fault of their own, fall victim to administrative errors and delays from the tax collection agency.
Solution
Senator Bob Hertzberg helped pass legislation this year to expand the taxpayer advocate program in California, helping provide financial relief to those who have been overcharged on their taxes because of administrative errors. Hertzberg’s plan will help restore trust in government by making sure that citizens are appropriately compensated if errors occur and by flagging occurrences of mistakes to help prevent them in the future.
