Personal income taxes: qualified commuter credit.

Abstract

The Personal Income Tax Law allows various credits against the taxes imposed by that law. This bill, for each taxable year beginning on or after January 1, 2020, would allow a credit against those taxes to qualified commuters in an amount equal to $500 for spouses filing joint returns, if both spouses are qualified commuters, as defined, and $250 for other specified taxpayers who are qualified commuters. The bill would restrict eligibility for the credit to taxpayers with specified incomes. The bill would require, for a taxpayer with an allowable credit in excess of tax liability, a payment from the Tax Relief and Refund Account, a continuously appropriated account, to the taxpayer equal to the amount of the allowable credit that is in excess of tax liability, as provided. By authorizing additional payments from this account, the bill would make an appropriation.
