Reenact EITC.

This bill reenacts North Carolina's state Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) for taxpayers filing returns for the year 2026 and beyond. It allows eligible individuals who claim the federal EITC to receive an additional state credit equal to 5% of their federal credit amount, with a special 4.5% rate applied to 2013 returns. The credit is refundable, meaning taxpayers can receive the money even if it exceeds the taxes they owe, and it will automatically expire at the end of 2026.
