Summary

Under existing law regulating the administration of the Personal Income Tax Law, individual taxpayers are allowed to contribute amounts in excess of their tax liability for the support of specified funds or accounts, including, among others, the Veterans' Quality of Life Fund. Existing law requires the expenditure of all moneys contributed to the fund, upon appropriation by the Legislature, for administrative costs and for distribution into the Morale, Welfare, and Recreation Fund for each of the veterans homes, as provided. This bill would repeal those provisions, and instead allow individuals to designate on their tax returns that a specified amount in excess of their tax liability be transferred to the California Veterans Homes Fund, which would be created by this bill. However, the bill would provide that a voluntary contribution designation for this fund may not be added on the tax return until another voluntary contribution designation is removed from that return. This bill would, like the expenditure of all moneys contributed to the Veterans' Quality of Life Fund, require the expenditure of all moneys contributed to the California Veterans Homes Fund, upon appropriation by the Legislature, for administrative costs and for distribution into the Morale, Welfare, and Recreation Fund for each of the veterans homes, as provided. This bill would require any funds remaining in the Veterans' Quality of Life Fund to be transferred to the California Veterans Homes Fund. This bill would provide that these voluntary contribution provisions be repealed on January 1 of the 5th taxable year following the taxable year the fund first appears on the personal income tax return. This bill would further provide that these provisions would be repealed for taxable years beginning on or after January 1 of the calendar year in which the Franchise Tax Board estimates by September 1 that the contributions made on returns filed in that calendar year will be less than $250,000, or an adjusted amount for subsequent taxable years.

Frequently asked questions

What does AB 1088 do?
Under existing law regulating the administration of the Personal Income Tax Law, individual taxpayers are allowed to contribute amounts in excess of their tax liability for the support of specified funds or accounts, including, among others, the Veterans' Quality of Life Fund. Existing law requires the expenditure of all moneys contributed to the fund, upon appropriation by the Legislature, for administrative costs and for distribution into the Morale, Welfare, and Recreation Fund for each of the veterans homes, as provided. This bill would repeal those provisions, and instead allow individuals to designate on their tax returns that a specified amount in excess of their tax liability be transferred to the California Veterans Homes Fund, which would be created by this bill. However, the bill would provide that a voluntary contribution designation for this fund may not be added on the tax return until another voluntary contribution designation is removed from that return.

This bill would require any funds remaining in the Veterans' Quality of Life Fund to be transferred to the California Veterans Homes Fund.
