What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Generally, under current law, married persons filing a joint income tax return

may claim as a credit against Wisconsin income taxes otherwise due an amount equal

to 3 percent of the earned income of the spouse with the lower earned income, but not

more than $480. Because this tax credit is nonrefundable, it may be claimed only up

to the amount of income taxes otherwise due.

Under this bill, the credit may be claimed in an amount equal to 3 percent of

the earned income of the spouse with the higher earned income. The bill does not

change the maximum credit that may be claimed.
