Senate Bill 855 includes expansion of gross income exclusions for Native Americans. Read Senate Bill 855
Overview
You may be exempt from tax if you are an enrolled member of, earn or receive income from reservation sources, and live in federally recognized California Indian country.
Indian country includes:
- Reservations
- Dependent Indian communities
- Indian trust allotments
Even if you live in Indian country, you're still a California resident. You must pay tax on nonexempt income.
Use the optional Enrolled Tribal Member Certification (FTB 3504) to declare your reservation residency and tax-exempt status, which may prevent unnecessary notices.
Visit Instructions for FTB 3504 for more information.
