California Revenue and Taxation Code · 2026-09 edition · updated 2026-10-03 · California

In enacting the California Personal Income Tax Fairness, Simplification, and Conformity Act of 1987, the Legislature finds and declares that for most taxpayers in most ordinary circumstances, the burden of preparing tax returns could be greatly reduced by the availability of state tax forms which would allow taxpayers to copy numbers from the federal return, make simple adjustments, look up the tax in published tax tables, subtract state tax credits, and either pay the amount due or file for a refund.

(Added by Stats. 1993, Ch. 31, Sec. 26. Effective June 16, 1993. Operative January 1, 1994, by Sec. 83 of Ch. 31.)
