Clarifying eligibility for the earned income tax credit
AI Summary
This bill clarifies eligibility for the earned income tax credit (EITC) in Massachusetts. It allows taxpayers who file as "married filing separately" to claim the EITC if they are living apart from their spouse due to domestic abuse. The bill also specifies that the EITC credit in Massachusetts is 23% of the federal EITC credit, and that the credit applies to both residents and nonresidents, with nonresidents receiving a pro-rated credit based on the number of days they resided in the state. The bill takes effect on January 1, 2019.
