How to setup an account with CA FTB SWIFT? | CA SWIFT

It's really easy to setup an account with the Franchise Tax Board (FTB) in California in order to electronically file Form 592 online through the FTB SWIFT System.

The first step is to send an email to wscs.swift@ftb.ca.gov requesting a login and passcode for the FTB SWIFT System. You want to provide your company name, address, primary contact name and phone number.

You then wait. Within a few days, you will receive two emails from the FTB that will contain a login name and temporary password. With the login name and temporary password, you are ready to access SWIFT via this link:

Use the temporary password and login to access the SWIFT System. You then will be prompted to create your own personal password which must be at least 6 characters in length, contain at least one numeric character, and cannot include any special characters like comma, period, question mark and so forth. Just upper and lowercase letters and numbers. Your password must be changed annually but you can change it at any time by using the Password Change feature within the SWIFT System.
