Bill > HF4686

This bill modifies an income tax credit for parents of stillborn children. Specifically, it allows a $2,000 tax credit for each stillbirth where a certificate of birth resulting in stillbirth has been issued, or for stillbirths that occurred in another state or country with a similar certificate. The credit can be claimed in the year the stillbirth occurred and if the child would have been a dependent of the taxpayer. The bill also includes a provision making this change effective retroactively for tax years beginning after December 31, 2015.
