California is the only state that fully taxes military retirement pay as personal income. California has the highest number of assigned active-duty military in the country but we’re losing these highly skilled veterans to states like Nevada and Arizona where military families can keep more of their hard-earned benefits.
AB 46 honors California’s military veterans and families by exempting military retirement pay and surviving spouse benefits from state personal income tax.
AB 46 helps keep more highly-skilled military servicemembers here in California, boosting our workforce, contributing to our local and state tax base, and strengthening our economy.
We need YOUR help! AB46 will soon be in front of your State Senator. As a constituent your voice is extremely important to helping this bill move forward.
Please call your State Senator today and urge him or her to support AB46. If you don’t know your State Senator’s name or phone number, you can find it here.
