[quote=SK in CV]I think you skipped a step in your explanation. The qualifying charitable organizations should be organizations that are already getting state funding. Like schools. Arizona has some that aren’t currently funded by the state (like private schools, whose funding I personally strongly oppose, and would hate to see California include them in qualifying organizations). But most of the organizations are things the state is either already funding or reasonably could fund. I do not know whether the state reduces funding based on the amount of direct contributions, but there are some credits that are limited in total dollar amount.[/quote]
Fair enough…. Anyway, this is just a big game….Consider it a hobby, outside of when I’m driving. I just think it’s interesting how people’s fortunes can change simply by a few line item changes.
A few weeks ago, a few folks bent out of shape concerning the tax reform was pondering could could the state strike back at these tax reforms….
In principle, here’s a strategy that might work. Where are all you folks that want to effect change and want CA to screw the fed back? Are you going to help ask our state representatives to do something? SK is in Arizona, so his state already does something about it… He’s excused 🙂
