2019 House Bill 4919

Expand eligibility for state EITC

Introduced in the House

Sept. 4, 2019

Introduced by Rep. Laurie Pohutsky (D-19)

To establish that a person who does not meet the age requirements to claim a federal earned income tax credit can still get a state earned income tax credit. 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), the value of which largely depends on the number of dependents a wage-earner has.

Referred to the Committee on Tax Policy
