What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, as created in 2011 Wisconsin Act 32 , the earned income tax credit (EITC), as a percentage of the federal credit, is 4 percent for claimants with one qualifying child, 11 percent for claimants with two qualifying children, and 34 percent for claimants with three or more qualifying children. This bill repeals those provisions and restores former law. Under the bill, for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012, the EITC, as a percentage of the federal credit, would be 4 percent for claimants with one qualifying child, 14 percent for claimants with two qualifying children, and 43 percent for claimants with three or more qualifying children.
