About 90% of Covered California’s 1.7 million enrollees receive aid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Premium increases vary by region and insurance carrier. Like most years, the 29,000 enrollees in the coastal region comprising Monterey, San Benito and Santa Cruz counties will see the biggest spike: an average increase of 15.7%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That area is one of the \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/health/2024/01/california-hospital-salinas-cost/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">most expensive health care markets\u003c/a> in the country. Experts have blamed geographic isolation and lack of market competition in the area for its high \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/tag/health-care/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">health care \u003c/a>costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A notable change in 2025 for that area is that Kaiser Permanente will begin serving residents in Monterey County and is expected to cover about half of the marketplace enrollees there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In terms of insurance carriers, Aetna CVS Health, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield have proposed the biggest rate hikes — 15.4%, 12.7% and 8.4%, respectively. Blue Shield and Anthem cover about 40% of all Covered California enrollees.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Subsidies for Covered California premiums\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A combination of state and federal subsidies has kept premiums affordable for many Californians despite recent inflation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the new \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/tag/california-budget/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">state budget\u003c/a>, lawmakers and Gov. Gavin Newsom approved $165 million to eliminate or reduce deductibles and lower copays for enrollees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s in addition to the premium assistance provided by the federal government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the Affordable Care Act, the federal government has consistently provided some financial assistance. More recent laws adopted during the COVID-19 pandemic — the American Rescue Plan and then later the Inflation Reduction Act — enhanced that aid by capping what people spend on their health insurance premiums to 8.5% of their income. That allowed more middle-income people to qualify for aid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Despite the rate increase, Californians who enroll in health insurance through Covered California in 2025 will benefit from the greatest level of financial support ever offered by Covered California,” Altman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What people end up paying for a health plan depends largely on their income, household size and age. Individuals and families on the lower end of the income spectrum may find they qualify for a plan with a monthly premium of $0 a month or $20 a month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The enhanced financial assistance provided by the Inflation Reduction Act expires at the end of 2025. Congress would have to extend this aid for it to continue beyond next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Us and advocates all across the country are hoping that it does not end at the end of 2025. We hope that we will be able to get a continuation of these subsidies that have been really popular across the country and especially in California,” said Diana Douglas, director of policy and legislative advocacy at the advocacy group Health Access California.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Tax penalties for uninsured Californians\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Many Californians who go without insurance may unknowingly pay more in tax penalties than they would for a health plan. California is one of four states, plus the District of Columbia, that penalizes residents for not having health insurance. This most recent tax season, Californians saw penalties of up to $850 per adult and $425 per child.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the 2022 tax season, the latest year for which data is available, more than 271,000 households paid\u003ca href=\"https://www.ftb.ca.gov/about-ftb/data-reports-plans/Health-Care-Minimum-Essential-Coverage-Mandated-Report-2023-Process-Year-2022%20.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> fines for lacking health insurance\u003c/a>, according to the Franchise Tax Board. Most of those who paid the fines earned less than $50,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates also advise that Covered California enrollees should ensure their household and income information is up to date. If that information is outdated because of a job change or another life event, enrollees could receive excess premium subsidies. In that case, they may find that they’ll have to \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/health/2024/06/affordable-care-act-repayment/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">repay some of that assistance\u003c/a> when they next file their taxes. Conversely, some people may learn they are eligible for more assistance than they currently receive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Open enrollment for 2025 starts Nov. 1.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Blue Shield and Anthem cover about 40% of all Covered California enrollees.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Subsidies for Covered California premiums\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A combination of state and federal subsidies has kept premiums affordable for many Californians despite recent inflation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the new \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/tag/california-budget/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">state budget\u003c/a>, lawmakers and Gov. Gavin Newsom approved $165 million to eliminate or reduce deductibles and lower copays for enrollees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s in addition to the premium assistance provided by the federal government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the Affordable Care Act, the federal government has consistently provided some financial assistance. More recent laws adopted during the COVID-19 pandemic — the American Rescue Plan and then later the Inflation Reduction Act — enhanced that aid by capping what people spend on their health insurance premiums to 8.5% of their income. That allowed more middle-income people to qualify for aid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Despite the rate increase, Californians who enroll in health insurance through Covered California in 2025 will benefit from the greatest level of financial support ever offered by Covered California,” Altman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What people end up paying for a health plan depends largely on their income, household size and age. Individuals and families on the lower end of the income spectrum may find they qualify for a plan with a monthly premium of $0 a month or $20 a month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The enhanced financial assistance provided by the Inflation Reduction Act expires at the end of 2025. Congress would have to extend this aid for it to continue beyond next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Us and advocates all across the country are hoping that it does not end at the end of 2025. We hope that we will be able to get a continuation of these subsidies that have been really popular across the country and especially in California,” said Diana Douglas, director of policy and legislative advocacy at the advocacy group Health Access California.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Tax penalties for uninsured Californians\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Many Californians who go without insurance may unknowingly pay more in tax penalties than they would for a health plan. California is one of four states, plus the District of Columbia, that penalizes residents for not having health insurance. This most recent tax season, Californians saw penalties of up to $850 per adult and $425 per child.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the 2022 tax season, the latest year for which data is available, more than 271,000 households paid\u003ca href=\"https://www.ftb.ca.gov/about-ftb/data-reports-plans/Health-Care-Minimum-Essential-Coverage-Mandated-Report-2023-Process-Year-2022%20.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> fines for lacking health insurance\u003c/a>, according to the Franchise Tax Board. Most of those who paid the fines earned less than $50,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates also advise that Covered California enrollees should ensure their household and income information is up to date. If that information is outdated because of a job change or another life event, enrollees could receive excess premium subsidies. In that case, they may find that they’ll have to \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/health/2024/06/affordable-care-act-repayment/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">repay some of that assistance\u003c/a> when they next file their taxes. Conversely, some people may learn they are eligible for more assistance than they currently receive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Open enrollment for 2025 starts Nov. 1.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

About half of the households who owed the IRS for excess premium subsidies in tax year 2021 earned less than $50,000, according to data from the agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.quotevalley.com/about-us/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Alex Hernandez\u003c/a>, an insurance broker in Merced, said most people can avoid this clawback by reporting any changes in income and dependents to Covered California as soon as possible. This way, the agency will adjust the amount of premium subsidies a person or family receives, and they’ll avoid an unpleasant surprise come tax filing time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hernandez tells clients to report all taxable income to the agency, including any extras, such as a bonus or significant winnings from a lucky night at the casino.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some members who are doing the enrollment themselves think that they need to go by last year’s income, and that’s not always the case,” Hernandez said. People should instead estimate income based on their current situation, he explained.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Don’t wait for open enrollment\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Covered California, in an emailed response to questions from CalMatters, said it sends a notice reminding enrollees to report any changes, such as income and household size before they sign up for or renew coverage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Consumers are reminded throughout the notice to ensure their information is accurate, and states what the tax implications are if information is incorrect,” Jagdip Dhillon, a Covered California spokesperson, said in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, people shouldn’t wait until open enrollment to declare changes. Enrollees can report changes at any point, either with the help of an enrollment counselor or by calling Covered California directly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People may need mid-year reminders; if you’re only getting this (notice) once a year, it can be kind of late,” said \u003ca href=\"https://www.kff.org/person/cynthia-cox/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cynthia Cox\u003c/a>, director of the program on the Affordable Care Act at KFF, a health policy organization that conducts polling and research. “Open enrollment is in November, and tax season is April. It might be a good idea to think about it in July.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reconciliation rule also works the other way around. People who overestimate their income and receive less subsidies than they’re eligible for could get money back. And for those who make less than 400% of the federal poverty level, there are \u003ca href=\"https://www.kff.org/faqs/faqs-health-insurance-marketplace-and-the-aca/whats-the-most-i-would-have-to-repay-the-irs/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">limits to how much they’d have to repay\u003c/a> the IRS if they were to owe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time of learning they’ll owe the IRS, some people question whether they should keep their health insurance, Casillas said. But people may also owe if they go without insurance. That’s because California is one of five states that require residents to have health insurance.

About half of the households who owed the IRS for excess premium subsidies in tax year 2021 earned less than $50,000, according to data from the agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.quotevalley.com/about-us/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Alex Hernandez\u003c/a>, an insurance broker in Merced, said most people can avoid this clawback by reporting any changes in income and dependents to Covered California as soon as possible. This way, the agency will adjust the amount of premium subsidies a person or family receives, and they’ll avoid an unpleasant surprise come tax filing time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hernandez tells clients to report all taxable income to the agency, including any extras, such as a bonus or significant winnings from a lucky night at the casino.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some members who are doing the enrollment themselves think that they need to go by last year’s income, and that’s not always the case,” Hernandez said. People should instead estimate income based on their current situation, he explained.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Don’t wait for open enrollment\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Covered California, in an emailed response to questions from CalMatters, said it sends a notice reminding enrollees to report any changes, such as income and household size before they sign up for or renew coverage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Consumers are reminded throughout the notice to ensure their information is accurate, and states what the tax implications are if information is incorrect,” Jagdip Dhillon, a Covered California spokesperson, said in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, people shouldn’t wait until open enrollment to declare changes. Enrollees can report changes at any point, either with the help of an enrollment counselor or by calling Covered California directly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People may need mid-year reminders; if you’re only getting this (notice) once a year, it can be kind of late,” said \u003ca href=\"https://www.kff.org/person/cynthia-cox/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cynthia Cox\u003c/a>, director of the program on the Affordable Care Act at KFF, a health policy organization that conducts polling and research. “Open enrollment is in November, and tax season is April. It might be a good idea to think about it in July.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reconciliation rule also works the other way around. People who overestimate their income and receive less subsidies than they’re eligible for could get money back. And for those who make less than 400% of the federal poverty level, there are \u003ca href=\"https://www.kff.org/faqs/faqs-health-insurance-marketplace-and-the-aca/whats-the-most-i-would-have-to-repay-the-irs/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">limits to how much they’d have to repay\u003c/a> the IRS if they were to owe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time of learning they’ll owe the IRS, some people question whether they should keep their health insurance, Casillas said. But people may also owe if they go without insurance. That’s because California is one of five states that require residents to have health insurance.

"content": "\u003cp>After nearly a decade of trying to peel away the red tape holding back housing construction in California, legislators this year are nibbling away at the last of the low-hanging fruit: impact fees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cities impose impact fees to fund construction for new schools, road maintenance, public art installations, and other amenities. The fees vary widely based on the type of project and city — ranging from \u003ca href=\"https://ternercenter.berkeley.edu/development-fees\">as low as $12,000 per unit to as high as $157,000 per unit\u003c/a>.[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Erik Schoennauer, land use consultant\"]‘The city should create a master list of all potential fees, anything conceivable.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These can be really, really high costs that can make or break the math on a development,” said Sean Roberts, a developer and CEO of Villa Homes. “These fees create a barrier to actually getting homes built, and that’s not good for anybody right now in California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The constitutionality of these fees was recently challenged in the Supreme Court. Last week, the court unanimously ruled that cities should have to demonstrate the fees they are charging are reasonable. But, they left it to lower courts to decide what counts as a reasonable fee. Meaning, there won’t be any immediate changes to how much cities are charging.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, a slate of bills is making its way through the legislature. None of the bills would actually reduce these fees. That’s because doing so would require tackling a much thornier question of how to make up for cities’ lost revenue. Instead, these bills aim to address other issues that developers have with the fees: that they don’t often know going into a project how much the fees will cost and that they are often due before projects even break ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11981595,news_11945744,news_11980019\" label=\"Related Stories\"]SB 937 would make payment due only once people are actually living in the new housing. AB 2144, authored by Assemblymember Timothy Grayson (D-Concord), and AB 1820, authored by Assemblymember Pilar Schiavo (D-Santa Clarita), would both require cities to post easily accessible information about the fees they charge. And a fifth bill, AB 1210, would cap the fees developers have to pay to connect new homes and apartment buildings to utility services, limiting the fees to 1% of the project’s estimated value.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the cost of materials, labor and interest rates continue to soar, legislators see these changes as one of the last remaining levers they can pull to reduce the cost of construction and spur development across the state. And while developers generally welcome these efforts to make housing easier to build, they say there are much bigger, meatier fish to fry in the complicated politics of California housing construction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Erik Schoennauer, a land use consultant who works with developers in San Jose, said he’s been advocating for the changes the bills propose for years. As it stands, he said, “there is no one-stop location” to understand what fees are due and when.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The city should create a master list of all potential fees, anything conceivable,” Schoennauer said. “It’s much harder to determine what [fees] apply when you don’t even know what the maximum list is.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AB 2144 would require cities to post information on impact fee schedules, along with a “nexus study,” which would break down the total cost of construction on a city’s website. AB 1820 mandates cities provide an estimate of the fees developers would have to pay within 10 days of a developer filing an application.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the problems surrounding fees are much deeper than a lack of transparency, Roberts said. His company specializes in constructing prefabricated granny flats and in-law units homeowners can put in their backyards. For the past few months, he’s also been working on building clusters of small homes called cottage courts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11983026\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/Overlook-151_qut.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11983026\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/Overlook-151_qut.jpg\" alt=\"An aerial view of a green house with a solar panel on the roof and a yard.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/Overlook-151_qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/Overlook-151_qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/Overlook-151_qut-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/Overlook-151_qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/Overlook-151_qut-1536x1152.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">While Villa Homes specializes in constructing prefabricated granny flats and in-law units, the company has started to branch out into building small and affordable single-family homes. According to Roberts, impact fees raise costs and can make these homes unaffordable. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Villa Homes)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>By design, these homes are smaller and, therefore, meant to be more affordable to purchase than a standard single-family home. But as he’s put together budget sheets for these projects, the impact fees have started to add up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The impact fees that we often run into in many jurisdictions don’t scale down, even though we’re building a smaller home at a lower price point,” he said. “At the end of the day, we want to get people into homes they can afford to buy and to do that on a private market without a bunch of government subsidies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SB 937 would push impact fees to be due once the homes are sold, but Roberts said that would only be “moving money through time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The cost is still there,” he said. “It’s just going to be borne later in the project and ultimately by the [occupant].”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Scott Wiener (D- San Francisco) said he authored this bill to help developers with the upfront costs of construction but acknowledged that there is a much larger conversation still to be had about how cities rationalize exorbitant fees that can kill projects while claiming to want more housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are cities where the impact fees are way too high,” he said. “They’re out of whack, and they’re harming the ability of housing to be built.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The high cost of these fees was at the heart of the case that went to the Supreme Court. In 2016, contractor George Sheetz was preparing to build a small home on a vacant lot in El Dorado County, but the county charged $23,000 for a “traffic impact fee,” even though, Sheetz alleged, there was no evidence the development would lead to more traffic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously in favor of Sheetz, saying developers have a right to challenge the constitutionality of these fees. Though the case’s fate ultimately rests in a lower court, the high court’s ruling could mean more developers will take cities to court over what Sheetz argued was “extortionate fees.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The way impact fees have thus far been imposed has been arbitrary and varies widely from town to town,” Jim Wunderman, President and CEO of the Bay Area Council said in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.bayareacouncil.org/press-releases/bay-area-council-hails-supreme-court-decision-on-costly-impact-fees/\">statement\u003c/a>. The regional business advocacy organization was one of many to submit amicus briefs in favor of Sheetz’s case. “This ruling is hopefully the first step on the path to returning some fairness in how housing and other local impact fees are charged.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many cities, however, rely on these fees to fund government services and city maintenance. Jason Rhine, director of legislative affairs for the League of California Cities, argues impact fees simply account for more people living in a city once the new housing is built.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most cities do not have a lot of excess dollars lying around in their general fund to help subsidize these [new] projects,” he said. “Developers have to pay their fair share when it comes to the impact that project is going to have on their community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When voters in 1978 passed Proposition 13, which limits the amount cities can increase property taxes each year, this revenue accounted for 90% of a city’s total income. According to a \u003ca href=\"https://lao.ca.gov/Publications/Report/3497#How_Did_Proposition.A013_Change_Local_Governments_Mix_of_Tax_Revenues.3F\">study from the Legislative Analyst’s Office\u003c/a>, that share in 2016 was less than two-thirds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The biggest reason why impact fees are so pricey is due to municipal governments not having many ways to levy taxes,” said Muhammad Alameldin, a policy associate at UC Berkeley’s Terner Center for Housing Innovation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because Proposition 13 has artificially suppressed property tax revenue for decades, cities can no longer rely on property owners to foot the bill for maintaining their neighborhoods. Cities with fewer commercial centers, like San Jose or other suburban municipalities, are, therefore, in a tighter bind to find revenue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wiener said he was sympathetic to cities’ plight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We made it really hard for them to fund basic municipal services,” he said. “So, that’s why they have become overly reliant on impact fees on new housing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And he acknowledged that he and other lawmakers are kicking the can down the road on a much larger — and more meaningful — conversation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The much broader issue is how cities are funded in California,” Wiener said. “[My] bill is not a substitute for the broader conversation.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

The fees vary widely based on the type of project and city — ranging from \u003ca href=\"https://ternercenter.berkeley.edu/development-fees\">as low as $12,000 per unit to as high as $157,000 per unit\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Last week, the court unanimously ruled that cities should have to demonstrate the fees they are charging are reasonable. But, they left it to lower courts to decide what counts as a reasonable fee. Meaning, there won’t be any immediate changes to how much cities are charging.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, a slate of bills is making its way through the legislature. None of the bills would actually reduce these fees. That’s because doing so would require tackling a much thornier question of how to make up for cities’ lost revenue. Instead, these bills aim to address other issues that developers have with the fees: that they don’t often know going into a project how much the fees will cost and that they are often due before projects even break ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

AB 2144, authored by Assemblymember Timothy Grayson (D-Concord), and AB 1820, authored by Assemblymember Pilar Schiavo (D-Santa Clarita), would both require cities to post easily accessible information about the fees they charge. And a fifth bill, AB 1210, would cap the fees developers have to pay to connect new homes and apartment buildings to utility services, limiting the fees to 1% of the project’s estimated value.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the cost of materials, labor and interest rates continue to soar, legislators see these changes as one of the last remaining levers they can pull to reduce the cost of construction and spur development across the state. And while developers generally welcome these efforts to make housing easier to build, they say there are much bigger, meatier fish to fry in the complicated politics of California housing construction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Erik Schoennauer, a land use consultant who works with developers in San Jose, said he’s been advocating for the changes the bills propose for years. As it stands, he said, “there is no one-stop location” to understand what fees are due and when.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The city should create a master list of all potential fees, anything conceivable,” Schoennauer said. “It’s much harder to determine what [fees] apply when you don’t even know what the maximum list is.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AB 2144 would require cities to post information on impact fee schedules, along with a “nexus study,” which would break down the total cost of construction on a city’s website. AB 1820 mandates cities provide an estimate of the fees developers would have to pay within 10 days of a developer filing an application.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the problems surrounding fees are much deeper than a lack of transparency, Roberts said. His company specializes in constructing prefabricated granny flats and in-law units homeowners can put in their backyards. For the past few months, he’s also been working on building clusters of small homes called cottage courts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11983026\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/Overlook-151_qut.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11983026\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/Overlook-151_qut.jpg\" alt=\"An aerial view of a green house with a solar panel on the roof and a yard.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/Overlook-151_qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/Overlook-151_qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/Overlook-151_qut-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/Overlook-151_qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/Overlook-151_qut-1536x1152.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">While Villa Homes specializes in constructing prefabricated granny flats and in-law units, the company has started to branch out into building small and affordable single-family homes. According to Roberts, impact fees raise costs and can make these homes unaffordable. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Villa Homes)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>By design, these homes are smaller and, therefore, meant to be more affordable to purchase than a standard single-family home. But as he’s put together budget sheets for these projects, the impact fees have started to add up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The impact fees that we often run into in many jurisdictions don’t scale down, even though we’re building a smaller home at a lower price point,” he said. “At the end of the day, we want to get people into homes they can afford to buy and to do that on a private market without a bunch of government subsidies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SB 937 would push impact fees to be due once the homes are sold, but Roberts said that would only be “moving money through time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The cost is still there,” he said. “It’s just going to be borne later in the project and ultimately by the [occupant].”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Scott Wiener (D- San Francisco) said he authored this bill to help developers with the upfront costs of construction but acknowledged that there is a much larger conversation still to be had about how cities rationalize exorbitant fees that can kill projects while claiming to want more housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are cities where the impact fees are way too high,” he said. “They’re out of whack, and they’re harming the ability of housing to be built.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The high cost of these fees was at the heart of the case that went to the Supreme Court. In 2016, contractor George Sheetz was preparing to build a small home on a vacant lot in El Dorado County, but the county charged $23,000 for a “traffic impact fee,” even though, Sheetz alleged, there was no evidence the development would lead to more traffic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously in favor of Sheetz, saying developers have a right to challenge the constitutionality of these fees. Though the case’s fate ultimately rests in a lower court, the high court’s ruling could mean more developers will take cities to court over what Sheetz argued was “extortionate fees.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The way impact fees have thus far been imposed has been arbitrary and varies widely from town to town,” Jim Wunderman, President and CEO of the Bay Area Council said in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.bayareacouncil.org/press-releases/bay-area-council-hails-supreme-court-decision-on-costly-impact-fees/\">statement\u003c/a>. The regional business advocacy organization was one of many to submit amicus briefs in favor of Sheetz’s case. “This ruling is hopefully the first step on the path to returning some fairness in how housing and other local impact fees are charged.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many cities, however, rely on these fees to fund government services and city maintenance. Jason Rhine, director of legislative affairs for the League of California Cities, argues impact fees simply account for more people living in a city once the new housing is built.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most cities do not have a lot of excess dollars lying around in their general fund to help subsidize these [new] projects,” he said. “Developers have to pay their fair share when it comes to the impact that project is going to have on their community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When voters in 1978 passed Proposition 13, which limits the amount cities can increase property taxes each year, this revenue accounted for 90% of a city’s total income. According to a \u003ca href=\"https://lao.ca.gov/Publications/Report/3497#How_Did_Proposition.A013_Change_Local_Governments_Mix_of_Tax_Revenues.3F\">study from the Legislative Analyst’s Office\u003c/a>, that share in 2016 was less than two-thirds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The biggest reason why impact fees are so pricey is due to municipal governments not having many ways to levy taxes,” said Muhammad Alameldin, a policy associate at UC Berkeley’s Terner Center for Housing Innovation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because Proposition 13 has artificially suppressed property tax revenue for decades, cities can no longer rely on property owners to foot the bill for maintaining their neighborhoods. Cities with fewer commercial centers, like San Jose or other suburban municipalities, are, therefore, in a tighter bind to find revenue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wiener said he was sympathetic to cities’ plight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We made it really hard for them to fund basic municipal services,” he said. “So, that’s why they have become overly reliant on impact fees on new housing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And he acknowledged that he and other lawmakers are kicking the can down the road on a much larger — and more meaningful — conversation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

If your adjusted gross income is $79,000 or less, you qualify for a program called IRS Free File. \u003ca href=\"https://apps.irs.gov/app/freeFile\">Find out more\u003c/a> at the IRS website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you don’t qualify, you can still get deals on online tax software, says Akeiva Ellis, a certified financial planner and the cofounder of \u003ca href=\"https://www.thebemusedtv.com/\">The Bemused\u003c/a>. She uses a service called Free Tax USA, which charges $14.99 per state and is free for the federal return.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>2. Consider tagging in a professional\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Another option is to go to an accountant or tax preparer. That might make sense if you’re doing your taxes for the first time or have had a major life change — like getting married or starting a new business. It may also make sense if you want to do some tax planning for the year ahead, says \u003ca href=\"https://aparnesscpa.com/\">Andrea Parness\u003c/a>, a CPA and certified tax coach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re looking for a pro, start by asking friends and family for referrals, she says. And then interview the person. Prepare questions for them: Will they be giving you tax advice or just filling out the forms and submitting them? Will you have an appointment? And what happens if they make a mistake?\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>3. Gather your documents\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/things-to-remember-when-filing-a-2023-tax-return\">IRS has a list \u003c/a>of documents you might need. Tax preparers can give you one, too. Some common examples are W2 forms, which your employers send you by mail; student loan interest forms; bank interest forms; and any receipts for things you plan to take as a tax credit or deduction, like medical expenses or charitable donations.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>4. Look into tax credits and deductions\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Both are benefits that save you money on taxes. A tax credit lowers your final tax bill; it comes off the top of what you owe. A tax deduction, on the other hand, “reduces the amount of income you have to pay tax on,” Ellis says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To figure out which credits and deductions you’re eligible for, look at \u003ca href=\"https://www.irs.gov/credits-and-deductions\">the IRS \u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"https://www.irs.gov/credits-and-deductions\">website\u003c/a>. If you use software, it’ll prompt you with questions to help figure this out. So will tax preparers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But do your research. “You certainly always want to be able to educate yourself and not just depend on someone else asking you, ‘Hey, did you buy a new car? Did you do this? Did you put your kid in daycare?’ … Everybody runs their practice differently, and not everybody asks those questions,” Parness says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>5. You can file an extension — but you still have to pay\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>If you think you won’t make the April 15 deadline this year, \u003ca href=\"https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/extension-of-time-to-file-your-tax-return\">file an extension\u003c/a> with the IRS online. Then, you’ll have until mid-October to file the forms. But if you owe money, you still need to estimate how much and pay it now, or you might get penalized later.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>6. Plan ahead for next year\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Think about what went wrong on your tax return this year. For instance, did you end up owing a ton of money? Did you get a huge refund? That often means you gave the federal government an interest-free loan. You can make changes now so that doesn’t happen next year. For instance, “ask your employer for a W-4 form so you can properly tell them how much taxes to take out of your check,” Ellis says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, look out for tax credits, deductions or rebates that you’re newly eligible for. A little planning and research now could lower your next tax bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Listen to Life Kit on\u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"http://n.pr/3LdRb0X\">\u003cem> Apple Podcasts\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem> and\u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"http://n.pr/3K3xVln\">\u003cem> Spotify\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem>, or sign up for our\u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"http://n.pr/3xN1tB9\">\u003cem> newsletter\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Consider tagging in a professional\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Another option is to go to an accountant or tax preparer. That might make sense if you’re doing your taxes for the first time or have had a major life change — like getting married or starting a new business. It may also make sense if you want to do some tax planning for the year ahead, says \u003ca href=\"https://aparnesscpa.com/\">Andrea Parness\u003c/a>, a CPA and certified tax coach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re looking for a pro, start by asking friends and family for referrals, she says. And then interview the person. Prepare questions for them: Will they be giving you tax advice or just filling out the forms and submitting them? Will you have an appointment? And what happens if they make a mistake?\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>3. Gather your documents\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/things-to-remember-when-filing-a-2023-tax-return\">IRS has a list \u003c/a>of documents you might need. Tax preparers can give you one, too. Some common examples are W2 forms, which your employers send you by mail; student loan interest forms; bank interest forms; and any receipts for things you plan to take as a tax credit or deduction, like medical expenses or charitable donations.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>4. Look into tax credits and deductions\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Both are benefits that save you money on taxes. A tax credit lowers your final tax bill; it comes off the top of what you owe. A tax deduction, on the other hand, “reduces the amount of income you have to pay tax on,” Ellis says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To figure out which credits and deductions you’re eligible for, look at \u003ca href=\"https://www.irs.gov/credits-and-deductions\">the IRS \u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"https://www.irs.gov/credits-and-deductions\">website\u003c/a>. If you use software, it’ll prompt you with questions to help figure this out. So will tax preparers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But do your research. “You certainly always want to be able to educate yourself and not just depend on someone else asking you, ‘Hey, did you buy a new car? Did you do this? Did you put your kid in daycare?’ … Everybody runs their practice differently, and not everybody asks those questions,” Parness says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That often means you gave the federal government an interest-free loan. You can make changes now so that doesn’t happen next year. For instance, “ask your employer for a W-4 form so you can properly tell them how much taxes to take out of your check,” Ellis says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, look out for tax credits, deductions or rebates that you’re newly eligible for.

Esto sucede porque usted ha indicado “Non-exempt” en su formulario W-4. A la hora de presentar la declaración de impuestos, muchas personas ven que ya han pagado todo, o la mayor parte de lo que deben al IRS en el año porque han estado pagando su deuda tributaria poco a poco con cada cheque de pago.[aside label='Más en español' tag='kqed-en-espanol']Entonces, ¿qué ocurre cuando opta por “Exempt” en su formulario W-4? Por lo general, lo que sucede es que usted recibirá un cheque más grande cada mes porque los impuestos no están siendo retenidos. Pero esto no impedirá que el Tío Sam cobre su dinero. Cuando llegue el momento de presentar la declaración, es posible que ahora vaya a deber una cantidad mucho mayor porque tendrá que pagar todo el saldo de impuestos a la vez, frente a pagarla mes a mes si hubiera elegido “Non-exempt”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Si usted es un trabajador ‘gig’ (conduce para Uber, por ejemplo), \u003ca href=\"https://www.irs.gov/es/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/manage-taxes-for-your-gig-work\">podría establecer pagos trimestrales al IRS\u003c/a> y, de esa manera, evitar que termine con una enorme factura al presentar su declaración de impuestos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Los trabajadores ‘gig’ son autónomos y tienen que pagar impuestos”, dice Lindsay Rojas, especialista fiscal y gestora de programas de United Way Bay Area. “No están reteniendo a menos que sepan que necesitan hacer esos pagos estimados porque son su propio empleador”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11981719\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1536px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11981719 size-full\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/FAMILY-ON-THE-SIDEWALK.jpg\" alt=\"Una familia compuesta de dos padres y dos hijos pequeños camina por la calle sonriendo.

Durante la pandemia, este crédito tributario por hijos subió a 3 mil 600 dólares para los menores de 6 años y a 3 mil dólares para los niños de entre 6 y 18 años de edad. Durante ese tiempo, los padres y cuidadores recibieron reembolsos mucho mayores que antes de la pandemia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pero a partir del año pasado, el crédito tributario por hijos volvió a reducirse a 2 mil dólares por cada hijo de 16 años o menos, y los hijos de 17 años ya no tienen derecho al crédito. También hay un requisito adicional para recibir estos reembolsos: Los padres tienen que haber tenido al menos 2 mil 500 dólares de ingresos el año pasado para poder optar a ellas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Todo esto significa que con estos cambios, muchos padres y cuidadores pueden ver reembolsos mucho más pequeños en 2024. Y en algunos casos, las familias pueden terminar hasta debiendo dinero al IRS cuando presenten la declaración de impuestos, pero recuerde: esto depende de su situación.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Si usted ganó menos de 2 mil 500 el año pasado, no califica para el crédito fiscal por hijo a nivel federal, \u003ca href=\"https://www.ftb.ca.gov/file/personal/credits/young-child-tax-credit.html#:~:text=Overview,income%20of%20%2430%2C931%20or%20less.\">pero es posible que pueda recibir el credito estatal\u003c/a>. Se trata de un reembolso para familias que ganaron $30,931 dólares o menos el año pasado y tienen al menos un hijo menor de 6 años de edad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[Los padres] no tienen que tener ingresos para reclamar ese crédito, pero sí tienen que ser los que están proporcionando el apoyo para el niño, y ese [apoyo] puede venir de diferentes maneras”, dice Rojas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tenga en cuenta que también hay muchos otros créditos a los que puede optar, dependiendo de su situación.

Durante la pandemia, este crédito tributario por hijos subió a 3 mil 600 dólares para los menores de 6 años y a 3 mil dólares para los niños de entre 6 y 18 años de edad. Durante ese tiempo, los padres y cuidadores recibieron reembolsos mucho mayores que antes de la pandemia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pero a partir del año pasado, el crédito tributario por hijos volvió a reducirse a 2 mil dólares por cada hijo de 16 años o menos, y los hijos de 17 años ya no tienen derecho al crédito. También hay un requisito adicional para recibir estos reembolsos: Los padres tienen que haber tenido al menos 2 mil 500 dólares de ingresos el año pasado para poder optar a ellas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Todo esto significa que con estos cambios, muchos padres y cuidadores pueden ver reembolsos mucho más pequeños en 2024. Y en algunos casos, las familias pueden terminar hasta debiendo dinero al IRS cuando presenten la declaración de impuestos, pero recuerde: esto depende de su situación.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Si usted ganó menos de 2 mil 500 el año pasado, no califica para el crédito fiscal por hijo a nivel federal, \u003ca href=\"https://www.ftb.ca.gov/file/personal/credits/young-child-tax-credit.html#:~:text=Overview,income%20of%20%2430%2C931%20or%20less.\">pero es posible que pueda recibir el credito estatal\u003c/a>.

Vested stock options — options that have matured and are fully owned by employees who can choose to sell them — are treated like ordinary income for tax purposes. Companies must pay withholding taxes on part of that income to state and federal governments. Last year, those taxes paid by the four largest tech companies in the state — Apple, Google, Meta and Nvidia — grew to at least $5 billion, making up more than 6% of all of the state’s income-tax withholding, the Legislative Analyst’s Office \u003ca href=\"https://lao.ca.gov/LAOEconTax/Article/Detail/789\">estimated\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s up from 4% to 5% pre-pandemic, has more than doubled since 2016 and quadrupled over the past decade. That increase has come as those companies have grown tremendously in market value — the four of them are now worth more than $7 trillion. Last year, the withholding taxes they paid helped offset the effects of fewer initial public offerings on the state’s revenue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chas Alamo, the principal fiscal and policy analyst for the office, did the analysis. He said that if he had the resources to do a deeper dive and had tallied the stock-equity withholding from all large tech companies in the state instead of just the biggest four, it might make up as much as 10% of all income-tax withholding. That’s on top of what the tech industry contributes to the state’s income-tax revenue, which makes it even more dependent on tech’s ups and downs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Historically, “withholding has been a stable barometer of how the state’s economy is doing,” Alamo said. “It hasn’t been subject to the volatility of the stock market. But that has changed over the last several years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Tax revenue from stock-options withholding at the biggest tech companies has quadrupled in the past decade\" aria-label=\"Column Chart\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-CZPfV\" src=\"https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/CZPfV/3/\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;\" height=\"400\" data-external=\"1\" width=\"100%\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All Californians have a stake in the health of the tech industry because the state relies so heavily on personal income taxes for revenue. In light of a \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2024/01/newsom-budget-california/\">multibillion-dollar budget deficit\u003c/a> and mixed signals around tech — which, on the one hand, continues to lay off employees but, on the other hand, is seeing an artificial intelligence boom that has translated into gains on Wall Street — income-tax withholding from both tech employee wages, as well as the withholding from their stock options, matter more than ever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pinpointing exactly how much tech-industry employment contributes to the state’s coffers can be tricky because tech companies have many different types of employees, but consider this: Software developers in the state earned about $48.9 billion, based on average annual earnings of about $190,000, according to data from the Employment Development Department as of the first quarter of last year. That total from just one segment of the industry was more than what the state received in total income-tax revenue from all sectors of the labor force through November: $47.2 billion, according to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sco.ca.gov/2023Nov_personal_income_tax_tracker.html\">State Controller’s tracker\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the rise in stock-equity withholding, it was the result of a great 2023 for the large tech companies whose financial filings Alamo analyzed, especially Meta and Nvidia. Shares in chip company Nvidia, whose graphics processing units dominate the artificial intelligence market, ended last year up about 239% from the previous year. Facebook parent company Meta’s investments in artificial intelligence helped propel its stock 198% higher year over year. Meanwhile, the stocks of Apple and Google ended 2023 up 49% and 59% year over year, respectively.

So if you haven’t yet filed and paid your taxes, you don’t need to do anything to get these extensions, which are owing to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11941996/federal-tax-deadline-moved-to-oct-16-for-california-disaster-areas-including-all-bay-area-counties\">the severe winter storms that hit the state earlier in the year.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original story:\u003c/strong> If you live or own a business in the Bay Area, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11941996/federal-tax-deadline-moved-to-oct-16-for-california-disaster-areas-including-all-bay-area-counties\">your deadline to file and pay both federal and state taxes was extended earlier this year, to Monday, Oct. 16\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Which now means that this new, extended deadline is right around the corner. And if you were one of many Californians who took advantage of the automatic extension for most counties in the state, you need to prepare your taxes ASAP.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keep reading for what you need to know about the extension, who’s eligible, and about filing your taxes before the deadline.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Remind me: Why did the Bay Area get this tax deadline extension?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>For most Americans, Tax Day this year still fell on April 18. But earlier this year, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11946379/tax-deadline-2023-california-bay-area-extension\">both federal and state tax deadlines were extended for the majority of California counties\u003c/a>, including all nine Bay Area counties — because of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11941996/federal-tax-deadline-moved-to-oct-16-for-california-disaster-areas-including-all-bay-area-counties\">the severe winter storms that hit the state from late December to early January\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.ftb.ca.gov/file/when-to-file/Emergency-tax-relief.html\">The only California counties that \u003ci>didn’t \u003c/i>get that extension\u003c/a> are Lassen, Modoc and Shasta. And because the extension was granted automatically to everyone in the affected areas, there was no application to fill out: The IRS and the state of California knew where you lived or owned a business during the tax year, so they used that information to extend this relief to you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11943464\" hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/03/pexels-emma-bauso-2253879-1020x681.jpg\"]Many Californians had their homes and belongings devastated by these storms and by the flooding, landslides, mudslides and evacuations they caused. A \u003cem>Los Angeles Times\u003c/em> report estimated that \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-01-10/california-storm-costs-could-add-up-to-nations-first-billion-dollar-disaster-of-2023#:~:text=California%20storm%20costs%20could%20add,floodwaters%20Tuesday%20in%20Merced%2C%20Calif.&text=As%20severe%20storms%20continue%20to,in%20excess%20of%20%241%20billion.\">this year’s winter storms have caused nearly $1 billion in damage\u003c/a>. This extension was intended as a form of tax relief for the majority of Californians, in light of those severe weather events.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But you didn’t need to have been directly affected by the winter storms — as in, having your home or your documents damaged during a storm — to get this extension on your federal and state taxes, even though the storms were the reason for the extensions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As long as you lived or worked in one of the affected counties, you are eligible to take advantage of the extended deadline,” confirmed Amy Spivey, visiting assistant professor and clinic director for UC Law SF’s Low-Income Taxpayer Clinic. “You do not have to have been personally impacted by the flooding in order to receive the benefit of the extended filing and payment deadlines.” You won’t be asked to provide any evidence at the time of filing that you were affected by these storms, either.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>See the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11946379/tax-deadline-2023-california-bay-area-extension\">three separate IRS announcements on the federal tax deadline extension\u003c/a> that included the Bay Area, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.ftb.ca.gov/file/when-to-file/Emergency-tax-relief.html\">the announcement from the California Franchise Tax Board\u003c/a> on the state tax deadline extension for those California counties named in those IRS announcements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The IRS also confirmed that if you live in one of the affected areas, \u003ca href=\"https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-may-15-tax-deadline-extended-to-oct-16-for-disaster-area-taxpayers-in-california-alabama-and-georgia\">you have until Oct. 16 to make 2022 contributions to your IRAs and health savings accounts\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Why might some people have chosen to take advantage of the extended deadline?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The big downside of not filing earlier, of course, is not getting any refund you’re owed earlier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, as UC Law’s Spivey notes, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11943464/irs-child-tax-credits-how-much-changes\">many folks won’t have been eligible for a refund this year\u003c/a>, and would instead have owed payments to the IRS. And unlike a regular extension, this disaster extension on filing your federal and state taxes was also an extension on \u003cem>paying\u003c/em> your taxes — which Spivey said she saw come as a welcome delay for some of the people coming to UC Law SF’s Low-Income Taxpayer Clinic back around the original filing deadline of April.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So “if you tried to file by April but maybe didn’t have the money to pay the tax bill, you won’t be incurring any penalties or interest as long as you pay by October 16th this year,” said Spivey. “For many folks, that actually ended up being a benefit if they owed, and weren’t able to pay their taxes by that deadline.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Can I request another extension on filing or paying my taxes beyond Oct. 16?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>No, unfortunately you can’t request another extension.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oct. 16 is the final deadline for everyone in those affected California counties to file and pay their taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>I lived or worked in one of the eligible California counties but I still got a late notice from the IRS. What do I do?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The extensions on filing your federal and state taxes were wholly automatic, confirms UC Law’s Spivey — you didn’t need to opt into them, or request the extensions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, it’s possible that “you still may get a bill for penalties and interest in certain circumstances,” she noted. One reason you might get such a bill: If you moved to a different county, and your new address is no longer in one of the California counties eligible for the extensions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But \u003ca href=\"https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-may-15-tax-deadline-extended-to-oct-16-for-disaster-area-taxpayers-in-california-alabama-and-georgia\">if you \u003cem>do\u003c/em> get a late filing or a late payment notice from the IRS before Oct. 16\u003c/a>, don’t panic. Just call the telephone number that’s on the notice, and as long as you lived or worked in one of the eligible California counties during the tax year, the IRS says you can get the penalty wiped.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Explain the situation, and they should be able to reverse that for you,” said Spivey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"#tellus\">Tell us: What else do you need information about right now?\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch2>Where can I still find free or low-cost help preparing my taxes?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>You can consult the following tools to see if there’s a free or low-cost tax preparation clinic near you:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://earnitkeepitsaveit.org\">\u003cstrong>United Way Bay Area’s Free Tax Help portal\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.irs.gov/individuals/free-tax-return-preparation-for-qualifying-taxpayers\">\u003cstrong>The VITA site locator tool from the IRS\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Spivey also confirms that it’s not too late in the year for undocumented immigrants to request an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), the tax-processing given out by the IRS to individuals so they can file and pay their taxes regardless of their immigration status or whether they have a Social Security number. If that’s you, “you would file a form W7 along with your tax return,” advised Spivey, alongside which you’ll provide various identification documents like your passport or birth certificate. If you’re (understandably) nervous about submitting your original documents, Spivey advises that you can visit a certified acceptance agent (CAA) who can sign off on your documents visually on behalf of the IRS.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"tellus\">\u003c/a>Tell us: What else do you need information about?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>At KQED News, we know that it can sometimes be hard to track down the answers to navigate life in the Bay Area in 2023.

If that’s you, “you would file a form W7 along with your tax return,” advised Spivey, alongside which you’ll provide various identification documents like your passport or birth certificate.

That said, \u003ca href=\"https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-may-15-tax-deadline-extended-to-oct-16-for-disaster-area-taxpayers-in-california-alabama-and-georgia\">if you do get a late filing or a late payment notice from the IRS before Oct. 16\u003c/a> and you live in an area that’s receiving the automatic extension, don’t panic.

You won’t need to provide any evidence at the time of filing that you were affected by these storms.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>I had no idea there was an extension this year. When did this happen?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-may-15-tax-deadline-extended-to-oct-16-for-disaster-area-taxpayers-in-california-alabama-and-georgia\">The IRS announced the Oct. 16 extension for filing and paying federal taxes\u003c/a> for certain United States counties affected by winter storms — including the nine Bay Area counties — on Feb. 24. (Back in January, \u003ca href=\"https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-announces-tax-relief-for-victims-of-severe-winter-storms-flooding-and-mudslides-in-california\">the IRS had initially only extended the deadline to May 15\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On March 2, Newsom’s office announced that California would follow the IRS’ lead and offer \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/2023/03/02/more-time-to-file-state-taxes-for-californians-impacted-by-december-and-january-winter-storms/\">a similar extension for filing and paying state taxes\u003c/a> for residents and business owners in those same counties. On March 17, \u003ca href=\"https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-provides-tax-relief-for-victims-of-severe-winter-storms-flooding-landslides-and-mudslides-in-california\">the IRS added more California counties to the list of affected areas\u003c/a> that were now eligible for the extension, bringing the total to 55 counties out of 58.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"#tellus\">Tell us: What else do you need information about right now?\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>The IRS also has confirmed that if you live in one of the affected areas, \u003ca href=\"https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-may-15-tax-deadline-extended-to-oct-16-for-disaster-area-taxpayers-in-california-alabama-and-georgia\">you have until Oct. 16 to make 2022 contributions to your IRAs and health savings accounts\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But if you didn’t know that the Bay Area was getting an extension on filing and paying taxes this year, you’re not alone. In fact, “we are seeing this a lot,” said Spivey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spivey says that not only are many people in the Bay Area unaware that the deadline to both file and pay their federal and state taxes has been extended, but also those who do know are unaware it’s automatic and requires no action or application to receive it.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"taxdeadline\">\u003c/a>I haven’t filed my taxes yet. What are the pros of filing by April 18, even though I can get the extension?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>One big reason you might consider filing and paying your taxes by April 18: Doing so will make it possible to receive your refund earlier, if you’re eligible for one, says Spivey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You may also be planning to apply for other credits, financial aid programs or benefits, which still require you to have filed your taxes by the original Tax Day of April 18, even if you qualify for the deadline extension. That said, some programs may have also recently changed their key dates to align with the federal and state tax extension (like San Francisco’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfhsa.org/services/financial-assistance/free-tax-help/working-families-credit-wfc\">working families credit for residents\u003c/a>, which has moved its application date to Oct. 16.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if you’ve already applied or are planning to apply for any financial aid programs in 2023 — like the \u003ca href=\"https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa\">Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)\u003c/a>, for example — be sure that waiting until Oct. 16 to file your taxes won’t interfere with your application.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One more reason you might consider filing by the original Tax Day: Spivey points out that many free \u003ca href=\"https://www.uchastings.edu/academics/pro-bono/vita/\">Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) clinics\u003c/a>, including hers at UC College of the Law, San Francisco, are scheduled to close after April 18, meaning that “your options to get free filing help may be more limited if you wait” until after that date.

(Back in January, \u003ca href=\"https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-announces-tax-relief-for-victims-of-severe-winter-storms-flooding-and-mudslides-in-california\">the IRS had initially only extended the deadline to May 15\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On March 2, Newsom’s office announced that California would follow the IRS’ lead and offer \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/2023/03/02/more-time-to-file-state-taxes-for-californians-impacted-by-december-and-january-winter-storms/\">a similar extension for filing and paying state taxes\u003c/a> for residents and business owners in those same counties. On March 17, \u003ca href=\"https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-provides-tax-relief-for-victims-of-severe-winter-storms-flooding-landslides-and-mudslides-in-california\">the IRS added more California counties to the list of affected areas\u003c/a> that were now eligible for the extension, bringing the total to 55 counties out of 58.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"#tellus\">Tell us: What else do you need information about right now?\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>The IRS also has confirmed that if you live in one of the affected areas, \u003ca href=\"https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-may-15-tax-deadline-extended-to-oct-16-for-disaster-area-taxpayers-in-california-alabama-and-georgia\">you have until Oct. 16 to make 2022 contributions to your IRAs and health savings accounts\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But if you didn’t know that the Bay Area was getting an extension on filing and paying taxes this year, you’re not alone. In fact, “we are seeing this a lot,” said Spivey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spivey says that not only are many people in the Bay Area unaware that the deadline to both file and pay their federal and state taxes has been extended, but also those who do know are unaware it’s automatic and requires no action or application to receive it.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"taxdeadline\">\u003c/a>I haven’t filed my taxes yet. What are the pros of filing by April 18, even though I can get the extension?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>One big reason you might consider filing and paying your taxes by April 18: Doing so will make it possible to receive your refund earlier, if you’re eligible for one, says Spivey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You may also be planning to apply for other credits, financial aid programs or benefits, which still require you to have filed your taxes by the original Tax Day of April 18, even if you qualify for the deadline extension. That said, some programs may have also recently changed their key dates to align with the federal and state tax extension (like San Francisco’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfhsa.org/services/financial-assistance/free-tax-help/working-families-credit-wfc\">working families credit for residents\u003c/a>, which has moved its application date to Oct. 16.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if you’ve already applied or are planning to apply for any financial aid programs in 2023 — like the \u003ca href=\"https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa\">Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)\u003c/a>, for example — be sure that waiting until Oct. 16 to file your taxes won’t interfere with your application.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One more reason you might consider filing by the original Tax Day: Spivey points out that many free \u003ca href=\"https://www.uchastings.edu/academics/pro-bono/vita/\">Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) clinics\u003c/a>, including hers at UC College of the Law, San Francisco, are scheduled to close after April 18, meaning that “your options to get free filing help may be more limited if you wait” until after that date.

Una pareja que presente una declaración conjunta, tenga dos hijos y unos ingresos inferiores a 55 mil 529 dólares, por ejemplo, podría recibir un crédito máximo de 6 mil 164 dólares.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.ftb.ca.gov/about-ftb/newsroom/caleitc/eligibility-and-credit-information.html\">California tiene su propia versión de este crédito: el CalEITC\u003c/a>. “Ese es otro crédito al que los declarantes potencialmente pueden calificar, si obtuvieron ingresos de hasta 30 mil dólares”, dijo Rojas, agregando que los declarantes sin hijos podrían recibir hasta 275 dólares, y aquellos con hijos podrían ser elegibles para una cantidad que oscila entre mil 843 y 3 mil 417 dólares, dependiendo del número de hijos que tengan. Las personas que no tienen un número de Seguro Social, pero tienen un ITIN también son elegibles para este crédito.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Más en español' tag='kqed-en-espanol']Si califica para el CalEITC, dice Rojas, eso abre la puerta a otros créditos adicionales. “Si [los declarantes] tienen hijos menores de 6 años, entonces calificarían para \u003ca href=\"https://www.ftb.ca.gov/file/personal/credits/young-child-tax-credit.html\">el crédito tributario para niños pequeños de California\u003c/a> y pueden recibir un crédito de hasta mil 83 dólares”. Esa cifra de mil 83 dólares sigue siendo la misma, independientemente del número de hijos que tenga el declarante.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Además, los residentes de San Francisco que califiquen para el EITC federal o el CalEITC también pueden recibir otro crédito, pero esta vez de la ciudad: se conoce como \u003ca href=\"https://es.sfhsa.org/services/financial-assistance/free-tax-help/working-families-credit-wfc/working-family-credit-wfc\">Working Families Credit\u003c/a> (o el “crédito para familias trabajadoras”) y otorga a los declarantes con hijos un crédito máximo de 250 dólares, independientemente del número de hijos en el hogar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pero para recibir este crédito, dice Spivey, de UC Law, hay que \u003ca href=\"https://es.sfhsa.org/services/financial-assistance/free-tax-help/working-families-credit-wfc/working-family-credit-wfc\">rellenar por separado una solicitud de crédito para familias trabajadoras con la Agencia de Servicios Humanos\u003c/a> de la ciudad. “No es algo que se reclame directamente en la declaración de impuestos”, explica.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Algo más a tener en cuenta sobre el crédito para familias trabajadoras de San Francisco: el plazo para solicitar este monto también se ha ampliado hasta el 16 de octubre.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California tiene una larga lista de créditos adicionales, incluyendo \u003ca href=\"https://www.ftb.ca.gov/file/personal/credits/nonrefundable-renters-credit.html\">un crédito para inquilinos (que oscila entre 60 y 120 dólares, dependiendo de cómo se presente la declaración) y un Crédito Fiscal para Jóvenes de Crianza Temporal\u003c/a> (FYTC, por sus siglas en inglés). Este último es nuevo este año y proporciona a los declarantes que formaron parte del sistema de cuidado de crianza temporal de California (también conocido como “foster care”) y que ahora tienen entre 18 y 25 años, un crédito que oscila entre mil 83 y 2 mil 166 dólares, dependiendo de cómo presenten la declaración.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.ftb.ca.gov/file/personal/credits/\">Consulte una lista más extensa de los créditos fiscales de California\u003c/a>.\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch3>Incluso con una devolución más pequeña, es una buena idea presentar sus impuestos\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Datos del IRS muestran que entre los años fiscales 2012-2019, \u003ca href=\"https://www.eitc.irs.gov/eitc-central/participation-rate-by-state/eitc-participation-rate-by-states#:~:text=Approximately%2C%2021%25%20of%20all%20eligible,Income%20Tax%20Credit%20(EITC).\">aproximadamente una cuarta parte de los contribuyentes elegibles de California no reclamaron el crédito tributario EITC\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eso significa que millones de personas perdieron lo que podría haber sido un crédito considerable en sus declaraciones de impuestos. Spivey, de UC Law, explica que muchas personas no reclaman el EITC porque deciden no declarar sus impuestos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muchos contribuyentes que podrían ser elegibles para el EITC no están obligados a presentar impuestos porque ganan por debajo del umbral de presentación”, dijo. “Pero si lo hicieran, probablemente podrían recibir un reembolso en forma de los impuestos que pagaron y también el EITC o el crédito tributario por hijos, si tienen derecho a ellos”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spivey también señala que si no presentó sus impuestos el año pasado, pero este año presenta para 2022 y también para 2021, usted sería elegible para el crédito tributario por hijos ampliado de 2021. “Si no presentó en 2021, aún puede declarar este año y recibir ese crédito grande, si es que califica”, dijo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=]Consejo: Si su hijo llega a solicitar ayuda financiera FAFSA algún día, asegúrese de que sus declaraciones de impuestos estén siempre al día.[/pullquote]\u003cbr>\nY si su declaración de este año no es tan grande como en años anteriores, presentar este año todavía puede tener beneficios a largo plazo para sus hijos, dice Marcelos de MEDA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muchas de las personas que atienden la clínica gratuita de impuestos son padres que sueñan con que sus hijos vayan a la universidad algún día.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Pero si los padres no tenemos nuestros impuestos de años anteriores disponibles, nuestros hijos no pueden completar el formulario FAFSA cuando están solicitando universidades”, dijo, refiriéndose a la \u003ca href=\"https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa\">Solicitud Gratuita de Ayuda Federal para Estudiantes\u003c/a>, el formulario federal que los estudiantes deben completar para recibir ayuda financiera de las universidades, becas y subvenciones.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Este artículo fue traducido por la periodista \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/mpena/\">María Peña\u003c/a> y editado por el periodista \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/ccabreralomeli\">Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Esa cifra de mil 83 dólares sigue siendo la misma, independientemente del número de hijos que tenga el declarante.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Además, los residentes de San Francisco que califiquen para el EITC federal o el CalEITC también pueden recibir otro crédito, pero esta vez de la ciudad: se conoce como \u003ca href=\"https://es.sfhsa.org/services/financial-assistance/free-tax-help/working-families-credit-wfc/working-family-credit-wfc\">Working Families Credit\u003c/a> (o el “crédito para familias trabajadoras”) y otorga a los declarantes con hijos un crédito máximo de 250 dólares, independientemente del número de hijos en el hogar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pero para recibir este crédito, dice Spivey, de UC Law, hay que \u003ca href=\"https://es.sfhsa.org/services/financial-assistance/free-tax-help/working-families-credit-wfc/working-family-credit-wfc\">rellenar por separado una solicitud de crédito para familias trabajadoras con la Agencia de Servicios Humanos\u003c/a> de la ciudad. “No es algo que se reclame directamente en la declaración de impuestos”, explica.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Algo más a tener en cuenta sobre el crédito para familias trabajadoras de San Francisco: el plazo para solicitar este monto también se ha ampliado hasta el 16 de octubre.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California tiene una larga lista de créditos adicionales, incluyendo \u003ca href=\"https://www.ftb.ca.gov/file/personal/credits/nonrefundable-renters-credit.html\">un crédito para inquilinos (que oscila entre 60 y 120 dólares, dependiendo de cómo se presente la declaración) y un Crédito Fiscal para Jóvenes de Crianza Temporal\u003c/a> (FYTC, por sus siglas en inglés). Este último es nuevo este año y proporciona a los declarantes que formaron parte del sistema de cuidado de crianza temporal de California (también conocido como “foster care”) y que ahora tienen entre 18 y 25 años, un crédito que oscila entre mil 83 y 2 mil 166 dólares, dependiendo de cómo presenten la declaración.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.ftb.ca.gov/file/personal/credits/\">Consulte una lista más extensa de los créditos fiscales de California\u003c/a>.\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch3>Incluso con una devolución más pequeña, es una buena idea presentar sus impuestos\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Datos del IRS muestran que entre los años fiscales 2012-2019, \u003ca href=\"https://www.eitc.irs.gov/eitc-central/participation-rate-by-state/eitc-participation-rate-by-states#:~:text=Approximately%2C%2021%25%20of%20all%20eligible,Income%20Tax%20Credit%20(EITC).\">aproximadamente una cuarta parte de los contribuyentes elegibles de California no reclamaron el crédito tributario EITC\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eso significa que millones de personas perdieron lo que podría haber sido un crédito considerable en sus declaraciones de impuestos. Spivey, de UC Law, explica que muchas personas no reclaman el EITC porque deciden no declarar sus impuestos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muchos contribuyentes que podrían ser elegibles para el EITC no están obligados a presentar impuestos porque ganan por debajo del umbral de presentación”, dijo. “Pero si lo hicieran, probablemente podrían recibir un reembolso en forma de los impuestos que pagaron y también el EITC o el crédito tributario por hijos, si tienen derecho a ellos”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spivey también señala que si no presentó sus impuestos el año pasado, pero este año presenta para 2022 y también para 2021, usted sería elegible para el crédito tributario por hijos ampliado de 2021. “Si no presentó en 2021, aún puede declarar este año y recibir ese crédito grande, si es que califica”, dijo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
