SOURCE: Author
DIGEST:
This bill is the California Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Young Child Tax Credit (YCTC) trailer bill associated with the 2020 Budget Act.
ANALYSIS: In SB 80 (Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review, Chapter 21, Statutes of 2015), the Legislature created the EITC, a state refundable tax credit for wage income that is intended to benefit very low-income households. Specifically, the program builds off the federal EITC and established a refundable credit for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2015. The credit is applied to personal income tax liabilities associated with earned wage income. The program provides for a credit amount during a phase-in range of earned wage income according to specified percentages based on the number of qualifying children.
SB 106 (Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review, Chapter 96, Statutes of 2017) expanded the EITC to allow previously ineligible self-employed workers to qualify for the state EITC, and raised the credit's income eligibility limits so that workers higher up the income scale would qualify.
SB 855 (Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review, Chapter 52, Statutes of 2018) expanded the EITC to working individuals who are aged 18 to 24 or over age 65. Additionally, SB 855, expanded the qualifying income range for the EITC so that employees who have one or more dependents, and who are working up to full-time at the 2019 minimum wage of $12 per hour, would qualify for the credit.
AB 91 (Burke, Chapter 39, Statutes of 2019) expanded the EITC by raising the annual computation floor from 3.1 to 3.5 percent, revising the computation factors to increase the credit amount for certain taxpayers, raising the maximum income to $30,000, and providing a refundable Young Child Tax Credit (YCTC) for qualifying families with at least one child under the age of six.
AB 93 (Committee on Budget, Chapter 19, Statutes of 2020) expanded EITC and YCTC eligibility to Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) filers with at least one child under the age of six and specified that children six and over would count as qualifying children, as long as the family has at least one child under six.
This bill, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2020, removes the limitations set forth in AB 93 on the use of an ITIN in order to be eligible for the EITC and the YCTC. Additionally, ITIN filers would be required to provide specified information to the Franchise Tax Board upon request.
FISCAL EFFECT: Appropriation: Yes Fiscal Com.: Yes Local: No
According to the Senate Budget and Fiscal Review Committee, the provisions of this bill are projected to cost approximately $60 million annually.
