AB 2336: Personal Income Tax Law: exclusions from income: retirement: overtime.

Official summary

Legislative Counsel’s Digest (official, as of the latest version). Written by nonpartisan legislative staff; reproduced verbatim.

The Personal Income Tax Law, in modified conformity with federal income tax laws, defines “gross income” as income from whatever source derived, except as specifically excluded, and provides various exclusions from gross income.

This bill would, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2026, and before January 1, 2031, exclude from gross income the first $25,000 of overtime pay received by a taxpayer during the taxable year. The bill would also exclude from gross income the first $25,000 received by a taxpayer as proceeds from a defined benefit plan, as defined.

Existing law requires any bill authorizing a new tax expenditure to contain, among other things, specific goals that the tax expenditure will achieve, detailed performance indicators, and data collection requirements.

This bill also would include additional information required for any bill authorizing a new tax expenditure.

This bill would take effect immediately as a tax levy.
