The Income Families Bill
Delaware boosts earned income tax credit for low‑income families
An Act To Amend Title 30 Of The Delaware Code And Chapter 118 Of Volume 83 Of The Laws Of Delaware Relating To Personal Income Taxes.
Good for everyday people ·
If passed, the bill would let Delaware residents claim a larger state earned income tax credit, giving low‑income workers more money back on their taxes.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Expanding the credit could help thousands of low‑income families keep more of their earnings, but it also means less tax revenue for the state, so voters should watch the debate.
