Green River Road exit has always been a critical link for Corona residents who commute to Orange County via the SR-91.

California withholding Tax Code Sections 18662 and 18668 have changed. When the laws were first passed the State was trying to balance it's sagging  budget. Whether intentional or not, lawmakers passed rules to withhold more tax than due by  forcing all California sellers to pay withholding equal to 3.5% of the gross sale?s price. Whether or not profit occurred, tax was withheld. And it was a big tax, too. At the end of the tax year, seller's would show such over-withholding on their tax return and get their money back.  Sort of a forced savings plan.Many homeowners, agents and legislators thought that withholding more tax than was due was a bad idea. Through strong lobbying efforts of CAR and local real estate boards, the State changed the rules. California resident individual sellers ... 05/22/2007
