RE: SUPPORT Assembly Bill 2259 (Patterson) – Personal income taxes: credit: still birth
Dear Chair Burke,
Please
accept this letter of SUPPORT for AB 2259. This bill will provide
much-needed financial relief to parents who have experienced a still
birth.
In
addition to the emotional toll, there are considerable financial
hardships resulting from a still birth, including medical bills, funeral
arrangements, and even grief counseling. In fact, the typical medical
cost for a still birth is higher than a live birth, yet only parents who
have a live birth are afforded tax relief when both have made the same
arrangements in preparation for the baby.
AB
2259 will provide parents who have experienced a still birth with a tax
credit of up to $2,000.00 to assist with associated healthcare and
burial costs for the taxable year in which the still birth occurred.
While this bill can’t take away from the loss they’ve experienced, it
can provide incredible relief families in need.
(Optional: you can add your personal story here with respect to stillbirth and finances.)
I am in SUPPORT of AB 2259 because of the reasons stated above.
Sincerely,
(name)
