CA cuts tax exemptions for kids

To help balance its budget, California has reduced the state tax credit for dependents.

The change will increase a family’s California taxes for 2009 by about $210 per dependent compared with 2008.

A family with one dependent that normally gets a state-tax refund will get back $210 less when they file their 2009 return next year. A family that normally owes money will have to pay $210 more. Multiply that by two or more dependents, and it really adds up.

Fuck you CA. I need to get out of this shit
