Income taxation: exclusion: military survivor benefits.

The Personal Income Tax Law, in modified conformity with federal law, generally defines "gross income" as income from whatever source derived, except as specifically excluded, and provides various exclusions from gross income for purposes of computing tax liability. 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. This bill, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2022, and before January 1, 2027, would provide an exclusion from gross income for survivor benefits or payments, not to exceed $20,000 per taxable year, received on or after January 1, 2021, and before January 1, 2027, under the federal Survivor Benefit Plan. The bill would require the Franchise Tax Board to submit, on or before June 15, 2025, a report to the Legislature on the income brackets of taxpayers who claimed this exclusion, and would provide findings and declarations relating to the goals, purposes, and objectives of this exclusion. This bill would take effect immediately as a tax levy.
