What California counties do not have an extended tax deadline for the 2022 tax year?
With all the IRS and State Tax department (FTB for CA) notifications being sent about the 22 tax year extension of deadlines, it is easy to be confused.
Qualified Clean Vehicle Credit
There has been some confusion regarding this credit and specifically Tesla, Inc. As of now the information that the IRS has published regarding tax year 2022 purchases is that these have been phased out of the credit. This manufacturer has sold more than 200,000 vehicles and as of 2020 the credit available is zero. We believe the confusion comes in that the IRS links from within the same publication information for purchases that take place in 2023 or later.

California Middle Class Tax Refund
California’s MCTR has raised a lot of questions in the tax industry. At this point I don’t think anyone has a definitive answer and honestly, I see valid arguments on both sides of the ultimate question of whether it is taxable.
One take away I did have from this topic is that this is another example of how relevant you are as a tax professional verses DIY software being the tax preparer. Having you as a resource to talk through the pros and cons with the taxpayer, in a way they can understand, so they can be part of the overall decision. In my opinion, this is something that can’t be replaced.
