milked by tax authorities on every occasion welcome to CA where absurd standard is our morning coffee. This is probably better for the law stack, this probably has to deal with what constitutes an eligible dependent for that particular tax credit.

| Feb 18, 2021 at 3:40 | comment | added | Poor Professor | Jokes aside, if an agency issues rules (IRS in this instance) there should be an agency (IRS or other) that enforces these rules (otherwise we call them recommendations, not rules). Which agency is responsible for enforcing IRS rules in the USA? Why doesn't that agency penalize FTB for going against these rules? Will a citizen respect the government rules if another governmental agency doesn't? Is this all OK after all? | |

| Feb 18, 2021 at 3:32 | comment | added | Poor Professor | Wonderful! So the Californian tax law must remain in contradiction with Federal tax law until a foreign professor sues the FTB and rectifies the Californian law. It looks like California needs many many foreign professors to become a state of proper law :)) | |
| Feb 18, 2021 at 3:13 | comment | added | RonJohn | "If they shouldn't why wouldn't you sue them?" Well, I would not sue them because I don't have standing (that rule is not hurting me). OTOH, you can sue the CA FTB!!! | |
| Feb 18, 2021 at 2:40 | comment | added | Poor Professor | They just said "We can't answer for IRS. They are responsible for issuing ITINs." which is equivalent to "I don't care". I am telling IRS "I do need ITIN for state tax purposes" and they are telling me "no, you don't". I am saying "look, they require it" and they are saying "they shouldn't". If they shouldn't why wouldn't you sue them? Is there a law here or does everyone do what they want? | |
| Feb 18, 2021 at 1:11 | comment | added | RonJohn | Then I guess you aren't getting CA exemption credits. What did the FTB say about what the IRS said? | |
| Feb 18, 2021 at 1:03 | comment | added | Poor Professor | I am now content with the notion that accepting absurd is a standard here. And I would love to give the FTB my ITIN. But you may be missing that part of my question where I say that I do NOT have an ITIN. IRS wouldn't give it, you see? | |
| Feb 17, 2021 at 23:27 | comment | added | RonJohn | For years, SS regulation has been that the SSN must not be used as a general identification number. But guess what? Everybody uses it as a general identification number. Same with ITIN. Bottom line: accept this reality and give the FTB your ITIN. | |
