actions against out-of-state delinquents who owed $585 million Some 1100 of those cases were in Nevada Me' Admission FREE Sunday May 21 Noon to 5 pm O'Neill Park CSUF Campus Barstow between Maple and Chestnut said "They can't get a hunting or fishing license they vote they have no resident privileges The revolt took on new impetus last year when Joann and Bill Hoffman sold their home in Torrance in Southern California and retired to Carson City Nev owned land in that area for 20 and knew nothing of source taxes when they arrived in March 1988 not against fair Joann Hoffman said pay our taxes against taxation without representation" They soon founded Retirees to Eliminate State Income Source Taxes or RESIST which now has chapters in 28 states "The response is just Joann Hoffman added "We just keep up with the mail working harder than we ever had We feel our responsibility to get the word out to retirees and potential retirees This is one of the best-kept secrets in the nation You never hear about source taxes until the tax people come looking for Much of their work involves lobbying and sharing information with retires in other states Some chapter members also attempt to help people file appeals and cope with other tax paperwork Some long-retired pensioners still have letters from the California tax board saying their allotments are not taxable That was the policy until the tax board changed its regulations in 1977 Reber said The first appeal of the new polity was rejected two years Later Beginning in 1986 the tax board ste efforts to collect the source tax Reber Some 32000 former Californians paid $7 million in source taxes that year on income of $235 million No figures are available for 1987 and 1988 but Reber said he expects those total to be much higher The new Nevada law definitely hamper our Reber said but no decision has been made on whether to challenge it The statute wont take effect until Oct 1 A memorable day of family entertaiment including music storytelling peace art juggling magic arts and crafts booths clowns and puppets Activities include mural painting games paper folding face painting and day sculpture Refreshments on sale or bring your family picnic SACRAMENTO When Gertrude Eberly closed out a 31-year career with the California Employment Development Department she headed for drier pastures where tax laws and low-housing costs would help her mak the most of her pension She eventually settled in Fallon Nev and might have lived there happily ever after But three years ago the long arm of the California Franchise Tax Board found Eberly and demanded current and back taxes on the stpte pension been receiving since 1978 by the ton" has been shuttling between Fallon and Sacramento since then Eberly said in a voice ringing with disgust now paying them $50 a month" she said will die before paid off And Eberly 72 is one of thousands of expatriate Californians whoVe been dunned for a so called source tax in recent years like most retirees she had no idea such a thing existed when she left California The source tax is assessed against any pension or annuity public or private that was earned while a California resident In the case of someone who accumulated a pension while working for the same employer in several different states the taxpayer is required to figure out which portion of the pension was earned in California and then pay taxes on that amount The source-tax rate is figured on the amount of all income not just the California pension of this are tough" said Jim Reber of the California tax board puts a burden on taxpayers to determine a reasonable tax assessment and pay it no statute of limitation on this the In some cases the state has used collection firms to seize or put liens on property owned ex-Califomians Last year alone the against out-of-state delinquents who owed $585 million Some 1100 of those cases were in Nevada The former Californians are fighting back This spring an angry coalition of retirees got a bill through the Nevada state Legislature to prohibit any state from seizing property from retirees who owe source taxes Similar legislation is pending in Florida and Texas In the US Congress all four members of the Nevada delegation are sponsoring legislation to outlaw source taxes Forty-two states have source taxes but not all are as aggressive as California in collecting them Some like New York exempt the first $20000 of income plus all public pensions -For ex-Califomians there are no exemptions Reber said "This is plain tyranny" said Carl May a former Oakland police officer who retired to Minden Nev in 1977 already collected $3000 and after me for $52523 in penalties lucky I can still work But a lot of people who are too old to work and this is going to put on the street" The sponsor of the new Nevada law Assemblyman Ernie Adler D-Carson City said seen really tragic for people with modest means whoVe been hit for largie back-tax payments people are not Californians for any purpose other than paying the source he board initiated 17810 collection actions.
