AN ACT amending section 43-222, Arizona Revised Statutes; amending title 43, chapter 10, article 5, Arizona Revised Statutes, by adding section 43-1073.02; relating to individual income tax credits.

AI Summary

This bill establishes a new earned income tax credit (EITC) for Arizona taxpayers who qualify for the federal Earned Income Tax Credit under section 32 of the Internal Revenue Code. The credit provides a fixed amount of $350 for eligible individuals, with several key provisions: only one claim per household per year is allowed, taxpayers must file a claim form with their tax return (or certify no tax liability if below filing requirements), and if the credit amount exceeds the taxpayer's tax liability, the excess will be refunded. The bill specifies that this credit is intended to provide an economic benefit to low-income persons and families in Arizona, and it will apply retroactively to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2024. Additionally, the bill amends the existing income tax credit review schedule to include this new earned income tax credit in the periodic review cycle conducted by the joint legislative income tax credit review committee.
