Tax Law Changes

  • Credit Limitation – For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2024, and before January 1, 2027, there is a $5,000,000 limitation on the application of credits. The total of all credits including the carryover of any credit for the taxable year may not reduce the “tax” by more than $5,000,000.

  • Intangible Drilling and Development Costs – California law does not allow the deduction for intangible drilling and development costs in the case of oil and gas wells paid or incurred on or after January 1, 2024 (R&TC Section 24423 has been repealed).

  • Net Operating Loss Suspension – For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2024, and before January 1, 2027, California has suspended the net operating loss (NOL) carryover deduction.

  • Percentage Depletion – For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2024, California law does not allow the calculation of depletion as a percentage of gross income from the property for specified natural resources, including coal, oil shale, oil and gas wells. R&TC Sections 24831.3 and 24831.6 allowing state nonconformity to federal rules for percentage depletion of certain refiner exclusions as well as the temporary suspension of taxable income limit for marginal production have also been repealed.

  • The excess SDI/VDI deduction is no longer available
