Reenact EITC.
This bill reinstates North Carolina's Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) program, which provides a state tax credit to low-income workers who qualify for the federal EITC. It sets the state credit at 5% of the federal credit amount (down from 4.5% in 2013), making it refundable so eligible taxpayers receive cash even if they owe no state tax. The credit applies to tax years beginning January 1, 2025, and continues a program that expired after 2013. The bill does not change eligibility rules or create new benefits - it simply reenacts the prior policy structure.
