I would strongly favor pushing California out into the ocean and watching it float away, then they could join up on china and be a complete communist country. Rolling blackouts, earthquakes, pollution, smog, mudslides, through the roof cost of living, extremely high taxes, legalizing illegal immigration, bastardizing and harassing on our US service members, nancy pelosi, san francisco.
California wants you to pay double taxes because they need to put food on the table of all their new 'immigrants' and put their kids through college for free. California, the worst place on earth.
I would have to agree with some of the above but not the last sentence. I've been around our union for a couple of years now, as well as most of the developed areas of the world. I'm still struggling to find a better place than California. There is a reason for the high amounts of $ circulating in the state, though I can't say the same for it's gov.
My fiance was based in FAT for 2007 but we lived in IL. He just got a letter from CA claiming that he did not file CA state income taxes and they want their money. He filed in IL and paid in IL, we lived in IL. The letter states if you work in CA you have to pay CA income taxes even if you do not live there. Have any of you guys had the same problem? What's the best way to go about this?
They don't call the state the People's Soviet Socialist Republic of California for nothing. With their massive budget deficits, they'll be looking high and low for any change that might be under the sofa cushions.
I received the same letter the other day, I called them, told them i was only based there for 5 months and never lived there. (Not even a crashpad)
They told me to fill out section B on the form and fax or mail it back to them. I filled it out and told them that less than 50% of my income was made while working out of CA and thats all i was told to do. We'll see if i hear anything back from them or not but this was from 2007 taxes!! 2 years later they are attempting to hit me up for taxes because they're going bankrupt. Not my problem California
If you live in another state and you pay income taxes to that state CA has no claim, in addition there are special tax considerations for transport workers that keep them from being able to make your husband pay.
Maybe, maybe not. If he is just domiciled there, he should be OK. But if he has a CA address, car registration, etc he might have a battle to fight.
Again, just because you pay taxes in one state does not automatically exempt you from having to pay another...many folks do, but they are usually dual-residents who split their time between the states in question. Flight crew can usually avoid it by not putting down roots and leaving a paper trail.
And when it comes to government revenue services...if they say you ow them, you are guilty unless you can prove otherwise.
Thanks for the referral Longboarder. One of my clients recently received a similar notice, which I’ll be responding to on his behalf. If anyone else needs a CPA to handle one of these, or any other tax issue, I’m accepting new clients. My contact info is on the website. AirlineCPA.com

California is the worst place on earth.... You should never move there you'll hate it. No seriously please stay out. All you big manly conservatives scare us liberuls; we may be too scared to work and pay federal taxes so that the goverm'nt can dole out the money to all you real americans in the fly over states.

Just to let you all know, if you give California to China, this country will see a dramatic food shortage or higher prices for your food as it will have to be imported from China.
But, as you wish....
Your CA income isn't taxed unless more than 50% of your flight time was in California. Whether they'd make you document that, and how that would play for a reserve guy who didn't get launched every day-who knows. Next link is from the State of California tax website, so, hopefully whatever crat you wind up speaking with next week is somewhat aware of California tax laws. If not, 1031 is the pub you need to remember (See p.7)
what he said is this: if you look at a map of th ratio of tax money sent to the federal government v. fed tax money coming in, it almost perfectly overlays a map showing the voting tenancy of the states. i.e. NY & CA send in a lot more tax dollars to the Federal government than they ever get back, and the Mississippis & Oklahomas get a lot more than they every pay out.
