California has made it clear that the rebate is tax exempt for California and has asked the IRS to make these rebates tax exempt. Currently the IRS rules that energy efficiency rebates are tax exempt. California officials has asked that this be extended to water efficencly rebates.
They are waiting for the IRS to reply.
Probably not more than a few dollars, it is very unlikely even being exempt in Calif that it would be taxable to the feds.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
