All 14 California House delegates voted today to back a budget blueprint that could eliminate state and local tax deductions, a move that would cost one out of three taxpayers thousands of dollars.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n

All 14 California House delegates voted today to back a budget blueprint that could eliminate state and local tax deductions, a move that would be costly for many California taxpayers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some members in vulnerable districts immediately sought to downplay the vote, saying they have been assured the Republican tax overhaul will tackle or offset the potential tax hit from the loss of those deductions. The vote clears the way for House leaders to unveil their tax plan next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am confident (it will be fixed), but I\u2019ve also said that is my number one priority, so if we can\u2019t get it fixed then we\u2019re going to have problems,\u201d said<\/a> Rep. Steve Knight of Palmdale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A day earlier, Gov. Brown had pleaded with GOP members not to support the budget. About 3\uba85 \uc911 1\uba85<\/a> California taxpayers claim the deduction. If it were repealed, filers would see an average increase of $3,290.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGetting rid of an individual\u2019s ability to deduct his or her California taxes is a horrible idea, but it is made far worse when you preserve\u2014at the same time\u2014the right of corporations to take those same deductions,\u201d he wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Republican plan calls for steep tax cuts for corporations and promised reductions for middle-income taxpayers, a doubling of the standard deduction used by most Americans, shrinking the number of tax brackets from seven to three or four, and the repeal of inheritance taxes on multimillion-dollar estates. The child tax credit would be increased and the tax system would be simplified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Already, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco is vowing to label Republicans \u201caccomplices<\/a>\u201d in eliminating the state and local tax deduction. As soon as President Trump unveiled his budget framework that would eliminate the write-off, state Democrats condemned<\/a> the move for targeting taxpayers in high-tax, high-cost states such as California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But California Republicans remain committed to overhauling the tax code. Prior to the vote, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy of Bakersfield said, \u201cA vote for the budget is a vote to move tax reform forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
