Official summary
Read the official summary (openstates)
Under current law, only individuals of certain ages may qualify for the federal or state earned income tax credit. The federal "American Rescue Plan Act of 2021" temporarily lowered the minimum age requirement and removed the maximum age requirement for the federal earned income tax credit. In 2021, the lowered minimum age requirement was adopted for the state earned income tax credit (credit) indefinitely. For tax years commencing on or after January 1, 2028, the bill adopts the removal of the maximum age requirement for the credit indefinitely. An individual who claims the credit as a result of the bill may claim the credit in an amount determined in the same manner as an individual who claims the credit as a result of the prior adoption of the lowered minimum age requirement.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced.)
