Nestande Bill Would Help Save Non-Profits Money
"Not only would this bill save non-profits money, it does not cost the state money but also streamlines state tax law with the federal government," Nestande said in a statement.
Proposed legislation by Assemblyman Brian Nestande, R-Palm Desert, would make it easier for non-profit organizations to file taxes.
Assembly Bill 1677, which Nestande introduced on Feb. 14, seeks to amend California tax law for the non-profits and allow them to automatically conform to the federal limits "regarding the amount of gross receipts required for filing either the 'postcard' or the long tax forms," Nestande said.
"Not only would this bill save non-profits money, it does not cost the state money but also streamlines state tax law with the federal government."
