Bill Summary
CONCERNING THE ENLARGEMENT OF CERTAIN INCOME TAX CREDITS FOR LOW- AND MIDDLE-INCOME WORKING INDIVIDUALS OR FAMILIES, AND, IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, REDUCING STATE INCOME TAX REVENUE BY INCREASING THE EARNED INCOME TAX CREDIT AND RESTRUCTURING THE CHILD TAX CREDIT TO ALLOW ALL LOW-INCOME TAXPAYERS WITH INCOME BELOW CERTAIN THRESHOLDS TO CLAIM THE CREDIT.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to enlarge certain income tax credits for low- and middle-income working individuals or families in Colorado. Specifically, it:
- Increases the state's earned income tax credit (EITC) from 10% to 25% of the federal EITC for tax years 2023-2025, and to 38% for 2024. This credit is also expanded to those without a valid social security number.
- Restructures the state's child tax credit to provide a credit of up to $1,200 per eligible child (under age 6) for single filers with income below $25,000, and up to $600 for single filers with income between $25,000-$50,000. For joint filers, the credit ranges from $1,200 for income up to $35,000, to $600 for income between $35,000-$60,000.
- Requires the Department of Revenue to adjust these income thresholds for inflation starting in 2025.
The bill is intended to support low- and middle-income Colorado families with young children and help reduce child poverty.
