Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
ab 2065 status
is ab 2065 suppose to be a temporary law, until the deficit it intended to clear up is accomplished?
if you only profit $1.00 on your investment property, does the 3.5 tax witholding still apply?
is there an allowable tax write-off for paying this tax on your year end returns?

The 3.5% is not a tax, it is a withholding for possible capital gains. Many people were selling their homes and moving out of state, never paying a California capital gains tax. There are exemptions, such as if the sale of the property which is your primary residence.
