An Act amending the act of March 4, 1971 (P.L.6, No.2), known as the Tax Reform Code of 1971, in personal income tax, further providing for classes of income.
HB 1846 amends Pennsylvania's 1971 Tax Reform Code to exempt compensation earned by individuals under 18 years old from personal income tax. This provision directly affects minor workers, such as teenagers with part-time jobs or summer employment, by excluding their earnings from taxable income. The bill adds a new tax exemption clause (303(a.7)(2)(i)(F)) specifying that compensation received by under-18 taxpayers is not subject to tax. The exemption applies to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025, and takes effect immediately upon passage.
