Board of Equalization extends taxpayer call center hours

   The California State Board of Equalization (BOE) will extend its Taxpayer Information Call Center operating hours from Oct. 14 through Oct. 31 in an effort to reduce wait times and better help taxpayers during peak return filing period.

   The extended hours are 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.  On Oct. 31, call center representatives will take calls until midnight.  Depending on the volume of calls, hours may be extended further.

   Customer service representatives help taxpayers with diverse questions about electronic filing, registration, return preparation, the Statewide Compliance and Outreach Program, tax exemptions and other BOE-related questions.
