Recycles dryer sheets
some context; my mom sold her CA house in early 2020 and bought another one in TX about 2 months later, her intention was to do a 1031 exchange. both houses were/are co-owned with my sister. in 2021, my mom was told by my sister's accountant that she need not file because she is retired and had no earned income (wrong advice, i guess). last week my mom got a letter from FTB (CA Franchise Tax Board) requesting her return because the escrow company had reported sale of property.
what's her course of action next? did she need to file back in 2021? she doesn't speak a lot of English and now having difficulty to find an account that speaks her language in the town where she lives. Better for me to find her a new accountant here in CA? (her previous CA accountant has retired already.)
