CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE—
2019–2020 REGULAR SESSION
| Assembly Bill | No. 416 |
| Introduced by Assembly Member Fong |
February 07, 2019 |
An act to amend Section 17072 of, and to add and repeal Section 17208 of, the Revenue and Taxation Code, relating to taxation, to take effect immediately, tax levy.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 416, as introduced, Fong.
Personal income taxes: deductions: CalABLE contributions.
The Personal Income Tax Law, in modified conformity with federal income tax laws, allows various deductions from gross income in computing adjusted gross income under that law, including deductions for payments to individual retirement accounts, alimony payments, and interest on educational loans.
Existing federal law, the Stephen Beck, Jr., Achieving a Better Life Experience Act of 2014 (ABLE Act), encourages and assists individuals and families to save private funds for the purpose of supporting persons with disabilities to maintain their health, independence, and quality of life by excluding from gross income distributions used for qualified disability expenses by a beneficiary of a qualified ABLE program established and maintained by a state, as specified.
The Personal Income Tax Law conforms to these federal tax provisions.
This bill, for each taxable year beginning on or after January 1, 2019, and before January 1, 2024, would allow a deduction in computing adjusted gross income in an amount equal to the amount contributed by a taxpayer during the taxable year to a CalABLE account.
This bill would take effect immediately as a tax levy.
