2017 House Bill 4341

Increase EITC

Introduced in the House

March 9, 2017

Introduced by Rep. Kristy Pagan (D-21)

To increase the state earned income tax credit from an amount equal to 6 percent of the federal EITC, to 25 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).
