What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill creates a refundable individual income tax credit for individuals ages 18 to 21 who were either previously in foster care but aged out at age 18 or previously designated disabled under federal law, as a minor, but lost their disability status resulting from a redetermination at age 18. The credit that may be claimed is equal to 125 percent of the federal earned income tax credit for an individual who has no dependent children and may be claimed without regard to the age requirements for the federal EITC. The bill first applies to taxable years beginning after 2017.
The bill requires the Department of Revenue to work with the Department of Children and Families and the Department of Health Services to verify the claims of the claimants. Because the credit is refundable, if the amount of the claim exceeds the claimant's tax liability, DOR will refund the difference to the claimant by check.
