CA conforms to the $1,000 catch up contribution.
Can we expect a program update based on the below information?
While it is true that California does not conform to the CAA provision indexing the IRA catch-up contribution amount, there has been no change to conformity for catch-up contributions generally.
CA currently conforms to federal law as of the specified date of January 1, 2015 (RTC Section 17201(b)) with the modification that any references to “compensation” or “earned income” for purposes of computing federal limitations on the deductions for qualified retirement contributions, shall apply also to California for the same taxable year. (RTC section 17203.)[1]
Without additional action, California will not automatically conform to the indexing provision, but per the FTB website as well as the draft Publication 1005, California taxpayers age 50 or older may still make a catch-up contribution of $1,000.
