Asset Protection planning is not unethical and it is definitely not just for the very rich.

California Lifts Hold on Income Tax Refunds

The State of California previously placed a 30 day hold on all income tax refunds with the possibility of the hold being extended if certain financial requirements were not achieved.

The California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) lifted the income tax refund suspension on March 6, 2009, and the Franchise Tax Board is working with the State of California Controller's Office to issue FTB income tax refunds as quickly as possible.

California taxpayers can check the status of their California income tax refund on the California Franchise Tax board website at: http://www.ftb.ca.gov/online/refund/index.asp.

Limited California Tax Credits Available to New Primary Residence Buyers

Senate Bill 15 was approved by the Governor on February 20, 2009, and provides for a tax credit against the net tax for a taxpayer who purchases a qualified principal residence on or after March 1, 2009, and before March 1, 2010. The maximum amount of credits available to allocate is $100,000,000.00 (one hundred million dollars) and are available on a first come first serve basis.

The following qualifications and limitations apply:

  • The qualified principal residence is a single family residence, whether detached or attached, that has never been occupied
  • Allowed for the purchase of one qualified principal residence per taxpayer
  • Must be occupied for at least two years immediately after the purchase and is eligible for the homeowners property tax exemption
  • The credit is the lesser of 5% of the purchase price of the qualified principal residence or $10,000.00 (ten thousand dollars). The credit must be claimed in equal amounts over three consecutive tax years beginning with the tax year the purchase is made
  • The seller must provide a certification to the taxpayer and the Franchise Tax Board within one week of the sale that the qualified principal residence has never been occupied. Upon certification, the Franchise Tax Board will allocate the credit to the taxpayer on a first come, first serve basis.
  • To claim the credit, the taxpayer will submit with each tax return the certification by the seller.
