What if I resign from a corporation as the CFO and the board members do not remove me from the corporation with the appropriate agencies?
I turned in a letter of resignation for a corporation that I helped start 4 months ago. I found out that the remaining board members have still not removed my name from documents with the IRS, State Board, EDD, ABC, etc., nor have they established new credit terms with vendors releasing me of liability. Do I have recourse?

If you have submitted your written resignation of a corporation as its CFO and the board members have yet to remove your name as having any affiliation with this corporation, I would write all of the governmental entities that you have listed in your question stating that you are no longer affiliated with this corporation effective a certain date.
Send a copy of the letter to all of the corporation's board members and keep a copy of the letter for future reference.
As to having any legal recourse presently for the board's inaction, you do not. You have yet to be damaged.
