A 5419 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Provides a tax credit for persons who vote in a special or general election

This bill creates a $50 tax credit for New York state resident voters who participate in a state general or special election. It directly affects eligible voters by adding $50 to their state tax refund or reducing their tax liability when filing their state income tax return for the year they voted. The credit applies only once per tax year, even if multiple elections occur, and requires voters to have completed standard election identification processes. The credit is applied against the state income tax, with any excess amount refunded like a standard overpayment.
