Overview
This bill expands eligibility for the New Jersey Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) program to include victims of domestic abuse. Currently, married taxpayers who are victims of abuse must file jointly to claim the credit, which can be difficult or impossible. This legislation allows married taxpayers who meet specific criteria, such as living separately and being unable to file jointly due to abuse, to claim the credit as ‘married filing separately.’ It also clarifies how the credit is calculated and applied for part-year residents.
