However, there are continuing differences between California and federal law. When California conforms to federal tax law changes, we do not always adopt all of the changes made at the federal level. For more information, go to ftb.ca.gov and search for conformity. Additional information can be found in FTB Pub. 1001, Supplemental Guidelines to California Adjustments. The instructions provided with California tax forms are a summary of California tax law and are only intended to aid taxpayers in preparing their state income tax returns. We include information that is most useful to the greatest number of taxpayers in the limited space available. It is not possible to include all requirements of the California Revenue and Taxation Code (R&TC) in the instructions. Taxpayers should not consider the instructions as authoritative law. Use form FTB 3885F, Depreciation and Amortization, to compute depreciation and amortization allowed as a deduction on Form 541, California Fiduciary Income Tax Return; Form 109, California Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return; or Form 199, California Exempt Organization Annual Information Return. Attach form FTB 3885F to Form 541, Form 109, or Form 199. Depreciation is the annual deduction allowed to recover the cost or other basis of business or income producing property with a determinable useful life of more than one year. Land is not depreciable. Amortization is an amount deducted to recover the cost of certain capital expenses over a fixed period. B Federal/State Differences California law has not always conformed to federal law regarding depreciation methods, special credits, or accelerated write-offs. 7641233 Consequently, the recovery periods and the basis on which the depreciation is calculated may be different from the amounts used for federal purposes. Reportable differences may occur if all or part of your assets were placed in service: • Before January 1, 1987. California disallowed depreciation under the federal Accelerated Cost Recovery System (ACRS). California depreciation is calculated in the same manner as in prior years for those assets. • On or after January 1, 1987. California provides special credits and accelerated write-offs that affect the California basis for qualifying assets. California does not conform to all the changes to federal law enacted in 1993. Therefore, the California basis or recovery periods may be different for some assets. • On or after September 11, 2001. California has not conformed to the federal Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act of 2002 which allows taxpayers to take an additional first year depreciation deduction and Alternative Minimum Tax depreciation adjustment for property placed in service after September 10, 2001. FTB 3885F 2023 Side 1 Additional differences may occur for the following: • IRC Section 174. California does not conform to federal modifications for research or experimental expenditures that are required to be capitalized and amortized ratably over a five-year period. • Luxury automobile depreciation. Sport utility vehicles and minivans built on a truck chassis are included in the definition of trucks and vans when applying the 6,000 pound gross weight limit. However, California does not conform to the federal modifications to depreciation limitations on luxury automobiles (IRC Section 280F). Depreciation limitations placed in service in the calendar year 2023: For passenger automobiles (that are not trucks or vans): Tax year 1st Tax Year 2nd Tax Year 3rd Tax Year Each Succeeding Year Amount $3,860 $6,100 $3,650 $2,175 For trucks and vans: Tax year 1st Tax Year 2nd Tax Year 3rd Tax Year Each Succeeding Year Amount $4,260 $6,800 $4,050 $2,475 For lease inclusion indexing amounts, go to ftb.ca.gov/forms/search and enter lease inclusion. Page 2 FTB 3885F Instructions 2023 • Amortization of Certain Intangibles. California conforms to IRC Section 197 relating to the amortization of intangibles as of January 1, 1994. There is no separate California election required or allowed. However, for IRC Section 197 property acquired before January 1, 1994, the California adjusted basis as of January 1, 1994, must be amortized over the remaining federal amortization period. • Special and Bonus Depreciation. California does not conform to the federal special or bonus depreciation for qualified property acquired and placed in service. • Election to Expense Certain Tangible Property (IRC 179). This election does not apply to estates and trusts. Differences may also occur for other less common reasons. This list is not intended to be all-inclusive of the federal and state differences. For more information about adjustments, get FTB Pub. 1001, or refer to the R&TC.

About the Individual Income Tax

The IRS and most states collect a personal income tax, which is paid throughout the year via tax withholding or estimated income tax payments.

Most taxpayers are required to file a yearly income tax return in April to both the Internal Revenue Service and their state's revenue department, which will result in either a tax refund of excess withheld income or a tax payment if the withholding does not cover the taxpayer's entire liability. Every taxpayer's situation is different - please consult a CPA or licensed tax preparer to ensure that you are filing the correct tax forms!
