Part V Declaration of Taxpayer(s)
I authorize my account be settled as designated in Part II. If I check Box 4, I declare that the direct deposit refund information in Part IV agrees with the authorization stated
on my return. If I check Box 5, I authorize an electronic funds withdrawal for the amount listed on 5a and any estimated payment amounts listed on line 6 from the account
listed on lines 9, 10, and 11. If I have filed a joint return, this is an irrevocable appointment of the other spouse/RDP as an agent to receive the refund or authorize an electronic
funds withdrawal.
Under penalties of perjury, I declare that the information I provided to my Electronic Return Originator (ERO), Transmitter, or Intermediate Service Provider, including my
name, address, and social security number (SSN) or individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN), and the amounts shown in Part I above agrees with the information and
amounts shown on the corresponding lines of my 2008 California income tax return. To the best of my knowledge and belief, my return is true, correct, and complete. If I am
filing a balance due return, I understand that if the Franchise Tax Board (FTB) does not receive full and timely payment of my tax liability, I remain liable for the tax liability and
all applicable interest and penalties. I authorize my return and accompanying schedules and statements be transmitted to the FTB by my ERO, Transmitter, or Intermediate
Service Provider. If the processing of my return or refund is delayed, I authorize the FTB to disclose to my ERO, Intermediate Service Provider, and/or Transmitter the
reason(s) for the delay or the date when the refund was sent.

Part VI Declaration of Electronic Return Originator (ERO) and Paid Preparer. See instructions.
I declare that I have reviewed the above taxpayer’s return and that the entries on form FTB 8453 are complete and correct to the best of my knowledge. (If I am only an Intermediate
Service Provider, I understand that I am not responsible for reviewing the taxpayer’s return. I declare, however, that form FTB 8453 accurately reflects the data on the return.) I have
obtained the taxpayer’s signature on form FTB 8453 before transmitting this return to the FTB; I have provided the taxpayer with a copy of all forms and information that I will file with
the FTB, and I have followed all other requirements described in FTB Pub. 1345, 2008 e-file Handbook for Authorized e-file Providers, and in FTB Pub. 1345A, 2008 e-file Handbook
Supplement. I will keep form FTB 8453 on file for four years from the due date of the return or four years from the date the return is filed, whichever is later, and I will make a copy
available to the FTB upon request. If I am also the paid preparer, under penalties of perjury, I declare that I have examined the above taxpayer’s return and accompanying schedules
and statements, and to the best of my knowledge and belief, they are true, correct, and complete. I make this declaration based on all information of which I have knowledge.
