The Families Credit Bill
State expands working families tax credit to all adults
Expanding eligibility for the working families' tax credit to everyone age 18 and older.
Good for everyday people ·
If passed, any Washington resident 18 or older could claim the working families tax credit, giving them extra money on their tax return.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Expanding the credit could help low‑income families cover bills, but it also means the state will spend more money, which could affect other services.
