Bill overview
This bill increases the amount of the New Jersey Earned Income Tax Credit (NJEITC) and expands who is eligible to receive it. Specifically, it raises the percentage of the federal earned income tax credit that New Jersey taxpayers can claim, increasing it to 45% over a five-year period. The bill also allows taxpayers with an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) to qualify for the NJEITC and expands eligibility for those who are victims of domestic abuse, removing the joint filing requirement in certain circumstances.
