California CPA, Nov, 2000
California's personal income tax amounts will be indexed by 3.6 percent for the 2000 tax year, says the FTB.
Indexing takes the inflation rate into account and adjusts tax brackets, filing requirement thresholds, the standard deduction, and certain credits to ensure Californians do not pay additional taxes from year to year solely due to inflation.
The minimum filing requirement thresholds are designed to ensure that most people who will not owe taxes are not required to file a tax return. The FTB adjusts these tables to include the additional senior exemption credits and the dependent exemption credits. The tax threshold -- the amount of income reached where a tax liability is incurred -- has risen to $9,286 of adjusted gross income for single taxpayers and $18,572 for married, surviving spouse and head-of-household taxpayers.

The standard deduction will increase for single or separate taxpayers from $2,711 to $2,809, and for joint, qualifying widow(er) or head-of-household taxpayers from $5,422 to $5,618. The personal exemption will increase for single, separate or head of household taxpayers from $72 to $75 and for joint or surviving spouses from $144 to $150. The dependent exemption will increase from $227 to $235 for each dependent.
Tax credits affected by indexing include: joint custody head-of-household, dependent parent, qualified senior head-of-household, and the renter's tax credit.
