1.605 | Earned Income Credit
Effective January 1, 1997, taxpayers were allowed a refundable credit against Massachusetts tax equal to 10% of the amount of the earned income credit claimed on their federal individual income tax returns. Effective January 1, 2001, the allowed percentage was increased to 15%. Note that, since the state credit amount is based on the federal, and changes, temporary or permanent, to the calculation of the federal credit will be automatically reflected in credit claims made against state tax. Note that while credit is refundable, it is not transferable. Origin: M.G.L. c. 62, S. 6(h) Estimate: $136.3 |
