AI Summary
This bill proposes to create a new income tax credit for Massachusetts residents, allowing them to claim a credit against their tax liability for a portion of the costs of qualified tuition and fees for higher education. Specifically, individuals can receive a credit of up to 20% of these educational expenses, with a maximum credit of $5,000 per tax year. Any unused portion of this credit can be carried forward and applied to reduce tax liability in the following seven tax years.
