Assembly Bill
No. 2166

Introduced by Assembly Member Kiley

February 11, 2020

An act to add Section 17052.16 to the Revenue and Taxation Code, relating to taxation, to take effect immediately, tax levy. An act to amend Sections 17276, 17276.22, 24416, 24416.21, and 24416.22 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, relating to taxation.


LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 2166, as amended, Kiley. Personal income taxes: credits: residential fire insurance policy premiums. Personal Income Tax Law: net operating loss.
The Personal Income Tax Law and the Corporation Tax Law, in modified conformity with federal income tax laws, allow various deductions in computing the income that is subject to the taxes imposed by those laws, including a deduction for a net operating loss, as specified. Existing law, the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), among other things, authorizes, with respect to a taxable year beginning on or after January 1, 2018, and before January 1, 2021, a net operating loss carryback to each of the 5 taxable years preceding the taxable year of that loss.
This bill would, under both laws, conform to the provision of the CARES Act described above and would authorize a taxpayer to file a return for the first six months of a taxable year if that return includes a claim for a net operating loss carryback pursuant to that provision. The bill would also make legislative findings and declarations regarding the public purpose served by the bill.
Existing law requires any bill authorizing a new tax expenditure to contain, among other things, specific goals, purposes, and objectives that the tax expenditure will achieve, detailed performance indicators, and data collection requirements.
The bill also would include additional information required for any bill authorizing a new tax expenditure.

The Personal Income Tax Law allows various credits against the taxes imposed by that law. Existing law requires any bill authorizing a new tax expenditure, including a tax credit, to contain, among other things, specific goals, purposes, and objectives the tax expenditure will achieve, detailed performance indicators, and data collection requirements. Existing law establishes the continuously appropriated Tax Relief and Refund Account in the General Fund and provides that payments required to be made to taxpayers or other persons from the Personal Income Tax Fund are to be paid from that account.

This bill would allow a credit against the taxes imposed by the Personal Income Tax Law for each taxable year beginning on or after January 1, 2020, and before January 1, 2026, in an amount equal to the difference between the annual premium amount paid or incurred during the taxable year by a qualified taxpayer for a residential fire insurance policy for coverage of the qualified principal residence of the qualified taxpayer and the annual premium amount paid or incurred by the qualified taxpayer during a specified threshold calendar year for a residential fire insurance policy for coverage of that same qualified principal residence. The bill would require amounts of this credit in excess of the qualified taxpayer’s tax liability and other amounts due to be paid to the qualified taxpayer from the Tax Relief and Refund Account upon appropriation by the Legislature.

The bill would also include additional information required for any bill authorizing a new income tax expenditure.

This bill would take effect immediately as a tax levy.
