What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill adopts for state income tax purposes changes made by the federal

Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 related to the earned income tax credit.

Under current law, the Wisconsin EITC is equal to a percentage of the federal EITC.

The EITC on both the state and federal levels is intended to provide financial

assistance to low-income families. By adopting the changes made by the CAA, if a

taxpayer's earned income for 2020 is less than the earned income for the preceding

year, the taxpayer may elect to use the earned income for the preceding year for the

taxable year 2020 for purposes of the EITC.
