The following bills were chaptered on September 29, 2022, and they provide an exclusion from gross income for California purposes as follows:

AB 152, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2021, and before January 1, 2030, provides an exclusion from gross income grant allocations received by a taxpayer pursuant to the California Small Business and Nonprofit COVID-19 Supplemental Paid Sick Leave Relief Grant Program.

AB 1249, for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2028, provides an exclusion from gross income for any qualified taxpayer for amounts received in settlement from the Fire Victims Trust.

SB 1246, for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2027, provides an exclusion from gross income for any qualified taxpayer for amounts received in settlement for claims associated with the 2017 Thomas Fire and the 2018 Woolsey Fire.

Since federal law has no similar exclusion for those provisions above, an adjustment is needed on Schedule CA (540 or 540NR) for each one of those items.

The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) of 2021 was enacted on March 11, 2021 (Public Law 117-2). The ARPA of 2021 included some changes to the federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) that impacted R&TC Section 17052. This federal law change would allow those that are married and file married filing separately for federal purposes and meet all the requirements stipulated in Public Law 117-2, to qualify for the Federal EITC. California law conforms to these changes considering that California has the same rules pertaining to married individuals (filing status).

SB 113, chaptered on February 9, 2022, conforms state tax law to the federal tax treatment for Restaurant Revitalization Grants. For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2020, California law fully conforms to this federal provision to exclude this pandemic-related financial assistance program from gross income. As a result, we have deleted verbiage that previously stated that California did not conform.

In addition, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2019, SB 113 provides conformity to the federal Shuttered Venue Operator Grant provision which allows a gross income exclusion and provides modified conformity in regards to an eligible expense deduction.

SB 113 also expands the pass-through entity elective tax benefits for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2021 and before January 1, 2026.

As part of FTB’s reporting requirements, taxpayers who benefited from the Restaurant Revitalization Grant and the Shuttered Venue Operator Grant should file form FTB 4197, Information on Tax Expenditure Items.

The following bills were chaptered on September 29, 2022, and they provide an exclusion from gross income for California purposes as follows:

• SB 1246, for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2027, provides an exclusion from gross income for any qualified taxpayer for amounts received in settlement for claims associated with the 2017 Thomas Fire and the 2018 Woolsey Fire.

AB 80, chaptered on April 29, 2021, provides modified conformity to the federal provision under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, which allows taxpayers to deduct eligible expenses paid for with covered loan amounts, except for an ineligible entity. If an ineligible entity deducted eligible expenses for federal purposes, then an adjustment is needed on Schedule CA (540) for personal income taxpayers, or on applicable line(s) of applicable tax returns.

SB 151, chaptered on July 12, 2021, provides an exclusion from gross income for grant allocations received pursuant to the California Microbusiness COVID-19 Relief Grant Program administered by the Office of Small Business Advocate. Since federal law has no similar exclusion, an adjustment is needed on Schedule CA (540).

AB 176, chaptered on September 23, 2021, provides technical and clarifying changes to the California Microbusiness COVID-19 Relief Grant Program and the California Venues Grant Program.

Additionally, AB 176 provides an exclusion from gross income for grant allocations received pursuant to the California Venues Grant Program, and for grant allocations received pursuant to the California Microbusiness COVID-19 Relief Program for corporate taxpayers. Since federal law has no similar exclusion, an adjustment is needed on Schedule CA (540) for personal income taxpayers, or on applicable line(s) of applicable tax returns.

SB 113, chaptered on February 9, 2022, provides conformity to the federal Shuttered Venue Operator Grant provision which allows a gross income exclusion and provides modified conformity in regards to an eligible expense deduction.

The federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) created Employee Retention Credit, which has since been extended by the federal Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Relief Act of 2020 and by the federal American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. Employers who claim these credits for federal purposes must reduce their wage expense by the amount of the credits. Since California has no similar credits, an adjustment is needed on Schedule CA (540) for employers to fully claim the deduction.

AB 80, chaptered on April 29, 2021, provides modified conformity to the federal provision under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, which allows taxpayers to deduct eligible expenses paid for with covered loan amounts, except for an ineligible entity. If an ineligible entity deducted eligible expenses for federal purposes, then an adjustment is needed on Schedule CA (540 or 540NR) for personal income taxpayers, or on applicable line(s) of applicable tax returns.

SB 151, chaptered on July 12, 2021, provides an exclusion from gross income for grant allocations received pursuant to the California Microbusiness COVID-19 Relief Grant Program administered by the Office of Small Business Advocate. Since federal law has no similar exclusion, an adjustment is needed on Schedule CA (540 or 540NR).

AB 176, chaptered on September 23, 2021, provides technical and clarifying changes to the California Microbusiness COVID-19 Relief Grant Program and the California Venues Grant Program.

Additionally, AB 176 provides an exclusion from gross income for grant allocations received pursuant to the California Venues Grant Program, and for grant allocations received pursuant to the California Microbusiness COVID-19 Relief Program for corporate taxpayers. Since federal law has no similar exclusion, an adjustment is needed on Schedule CA (540 or 540NR) for personal income taxpayers, or on applicable line(s) of applicable tax returns.

The following bills were chaptered on September 29, 2022, and they provide an exclusion from gross income for California purposes as follows:

• AB 1249, for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2028, provides an exclusion from gross income for any qualified taxpayer for amounts received in settlement from the Fire Victims Trust.
• SB 1246, for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2027, provides an exclusion from gross income for any qualified taxpayer for amounts received in settlement for claims associated with the 2017 Thomas Fire and the 2018 Woolsey Fire.

Since federal law has no similar exclusion for those provisions above, an adjustment is needed on Schedule CA (540 or 540NR) and on applicable tax return for each one of those items.
