Summary

The Personal Income Tax Law, in modified conformity with federal income tax laws, allows various deductions from gross income in computing adjusted gross income under that law, including deductions for payments to individual retirement accounts, alimony payments, and interest on educational loans. That law also allows an itemized deduction for unreimbursed employee expenses, including those of a teacher, that exceed 2% of adjusted gross income. This bill, for each taxable year beginning on or after January 1, 2018, and before January 1, 2023, would allow as a deduction from gross income an amount equal to the amount paid or incurred, up to $2,500, for teacher professional development expenses by a qualified taxpayer during the taxable year for no more than 3 taxable years. The bill also would require the Legislature to review the deduction before January 1, 2023. This bill would take effect immediately as a tax levy.
