2021 Senate Bill 105

Increase EITC

Introduced in the Senate

Feb. 4, 2021

Introduced by Sen. Jeff Irwin (D-18)

To increase the state earned income tax credit from an amount equal to 6 percent of the federal EITC, to 20 percent. This is a “refundable” credit for low income workers (meaning that a check is sent to the taxpayer for the balance of the credit exceeding taxes owed), with the value determined largely by how many dependents a recipient has.

Referred to the Committee on Finance
