the California legislature approved a $1,000 refundable tax credit to poorer Californians who don’t own vehicles. It will head to the desk of Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), who is expected to sign it.
The bill offers the tax credit to single-filers earning up to $40,000 and joint-filers making up to $60,000 who live without personal cars. And, because the tax credit is refundable, Golden State residents can claim the full amount even if they don’t have $1,000 in tax liability.
