Bill > HB2096

This bill makes several changes to the working families' tax credit in Washington. It renames the "working families' tax exemption" to the "working families' tax credit" and provides a refund of sales and use taxes paid by eligible low-income individuals. The bill defines an "eligible low-income person" as someone who qualifies for the federal earned income tax credit and was a Washington resident in the prior tax year. The credit amounts range from $300 to $1,200 based on the number of qualifying children, with reductions as income increases. The bill also allows the credit to be claimed by individuals who file taxes using an individual taxpayer identification number instead of a social security number. It requires the Department of Revenue to administer the credit and authorizes the department to review tax information to ensure accurate claims.
