Answers to Bay Area readers' questions on Prop. 19, Medicare surcharge, RMDs FacebookTwitterEmail Assembly member Kevin Mullin, D-San Mateo, helped put the Proposition 19 property tax measure on the ballot.Rich Pedroncelli / Associated Press Today I have answers to reader questions on Proposition 19, the November ballot measure that changed many property tax rules; the Medicare premium surcharge; and required minimum distributions from retirement plans. Q: I’m 55 and buying a home in San Francisco, which closes Jan. 11, and will sell my Sunnyvale property in spring next year. Do you know if I would qualify for Prop. 19 if I hold off selling until April 1? I haven’t been able to reach anyone who can give me advice.
