SB 1499: Personal Income Tax Law: deferred compensation: retirement account catch-up limits: contributions.

The Personal Income Tax Law, in modified conformity with federal income tax laws, generally allows various deductions in computing the income that is subject to taxes imposed by that law, including a deduction for qualified retirement contributions. Existing federal law, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, among other things, expanded the deduction for qualified retirement contributions by indexing catch-up limitations for persons 50 years of age or older to inflation, increasing catch-up limits for persons 60 to 63 years of age, inclusive, and increasing contribution limits for simple plans, as defined.

This bill would conform state law to the above-referenced changes to federal law.

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

This bill would take effect immediately as a tax levy.
