Overview
- The Valley star appears on the California Franchise Tax Board’s public Top 500 Delinquencies list, and the listing obtained by TMZ Monday shows a claimed $463,632.12 personal income tax balance.
- The Top 500 is a semiannual transparency list that names people with large unpaid state income tax balances over $100,000.
- Cartwright’s CPA, Christopher Fank, says a 2019 return mistakenly reported income she never received, often called phantom income.
- Fank says he is working with the Franchise Tax Board to fix the record and says the agency placed a hold on the account while she submits proof.
- Her name remains on the public list as the matter is reviewed, and current reporting relies on the FTB listing and a letter from her CPA obtained by TMZ.
