The California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) issued its fourth and final report, Summary of federal income tax changes 2017—Final report, summarizing California’s conformity to P.L. 115-97, The 2017 Tax Reform Act (the Act). Over the last few months, the FTB has issued four reports listed below:
| FTB report no. |
FTB title for the report |
|---|---|
| First report | Preliminary report on specific provisions of the act; and (Revised) preliminary report on specific provisions of the act |
| Second report | Preliminary summary of federal income tax changes 2017–First release |
| Third report | Preliminary summary of federal income tax changes 2017–Second release |

Final report overview
In the Final report, the FTB generally consolidated the elements addressed in the First report, second report, and third report (see Deloitte’s prior tax alert for details regarding the FTB’s initial three reports) and also addressed California’s conformity to various provisions of the act not covered in the prior three reports. Some of the additional provisions addressed include:
- Individual tax provisions related to tax rates and various other deductions and limitations
- Deductions for qualified business income from pass-thru entities, various other deductions, and exclusions
- Various international tax provisions related to Subpart F of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC).
As has been noted previously, California conforms only to certain provisions of the IRC. Where California conforms to the IRC, California’s current IRC conformity date is January 1, 2015, for both individual and corporate tax.
