2021 House Bill 4933

Increase EITC

Introduced in the House

May 27, 2021

Introduced by Rep. Angela Witwer (D-71)

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 Tax Policy
