Summary

The Personal Income Tax Law and the Corporation Tax Law, in specified conformity with federal income tax laws, provide certain gross income exclusions, as specified. This bill would, under both laws, provide additional conformity with federal income tax laws by adopting specified provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 relating to gross income exclusions for reimbursements for medical care expenses under specified plans for dependents, as specified. Existing law excludes from the definition of "wages," for purposes of the unemployment insurance law, remuneration in excess of $7,000 paid to an individual by an employer during any calendar year, with respect to employment. That law also excludes from the definition of "wages" the amount paid by an employer for insurance or annuities, or into a fund to provide for any payment made to or on behalf of an employee or any of his or her dependents under a plan or system, as specified, on account of sickness or accident disability, medical or hospitalization expenses in connection with sickness or accident disability, or death. This bill would, under the unemployment insurance law, provide additional conformity with federal law by adopting specified provisions of the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 relating to an exclusion from wages for amounts expended for medical care. This bill would take effect immediately as a tax levy.
