A BILL FOR AN ACT
relating to taxATION.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
PART I
SECTION 1. Section 235-55.7, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (c) to read as follows:
"(c) Each taxpayer [with an adjusted
gross income of less than $30,000] who has paid more than $1,000 in rent
during the taxable year for which the credit is claimed may claim a tax credit [of
$50] calculated according to this subsection, multiplied by the
number of qualified exemptions to which the taxpayer is entitled; provided that
each taxpayer sixty-five years of age or over may claim double the tax credit;
and provided that a resident individual who has no income or no income taxable
under this chapter may also claim the tax credit as set forth in this section.
The tax credit shall be calculated as follows:
(1) Taxpayer filing a single return or a married person filing separately:
Adjusted gross income Credit per exemption
Not over $20,000 $150
Over $20,000 but not over $30,000 $100
Over $30,000 but not over $40,000 $50
(2) Taxpayer filing as a head of household:
Adjusted gross income Credit per exemption
Not over $25,000 $150
Over $25,000 but not over $37,500 $100
Over $37,500 but not over $50,000 $50
(3) Taxpayer filing a joint return under section 235-93 or a surviving spouse:
Adjusted gross income Credit per exemption
Not over $30,000 $150
Over $30,000 but not over $45,000 $100
Over $45,000 but not over $60,000 $50."
PART II
SECTION 2. Chapter 235, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by adding a new section to be appropriately designated and to read as follows:
"§235- Earned income tax credit. (a) Each individual taxpayer who:
(1) Files an individual income tax return for a taxable year; and
(2) Is not claimed or is not eligible to be claimed as a dependent by another taxpayer for income tax purposes,
may claim a refundable earned income tax credit. The tax credit, for the appropriate taxable year, shall be twenty per cent of the federal earned income tax credit allowed under section 32 of the Internal Revenue Code and reported as such on the individual's federal income tax return. If the tax credit claimed by a taxpayer exceeds the amount of income tax payment due from the taxpayer, the excess of credit over payment due shall be refunded to the taxpayer; provided that a tax credit properly claimed by an individual who has no income tax liability shall be paid to the individual; and provided further that no refund or payment on account of the tax credit allowed by this section shall be made for an amount less than $1.
(b) For a part-year resident, the tax credit shall equal the amount of the tax credit calculated in subsection (a) multiplied by the ratio of adjusted gross income attributed to this State to the entire adjusted gross income computed without regard to source in the State pursuant to section 235-5.
(c) To claim the tax credit allowed under this section, an individual taxpayer shall use the same filing status on the taxpayer's Hawaii income tax return as used on the taxpayer's federal income tax return for the taxable year.
(d) Any claim, including any amended claim, for tax credits under this section shall be filed on or before the end of the twelfth month following the close of the taxable year for which the tax credit may be claimed. Failure to comply with this subsection shall constitute a waiver of the right to claim the tax credit.
(e) No credit shall be allowed under this section for any taxable year in the disallowance period. For purposes of this subsection, the disallowance period is:
(1) The period of ten taxable years after the most recent taxable year for which there was a final determination that the taxpayer's claim of credit under this section was due to fraud; and
(2) The period of two taxable years after the most recent taxable year for which there was a final determination that the taxpayer's claim of credit under this section was due to the reckless or intentional disregard of rules and regulations to qualify for the tax credit, but not due to fraud.
(f) Any person who is a tax return preparer, as defined under section 231-36.5(h), shall be subject to regulations referred to in section 231-36.5. Any tax return preparer who fails to comply with due diligence requirements under the regulations with respect to determining eligibility for, or the amount of, the credit allowable by section 32 of the Internal Revenue Code shall pay a penalty of $100 for each failure.
(g) The director of taxation:
(1) Shall prepare any forms necessary to claim a tax credit under this section;
(2) May require proof of the claim for the tax credit;
(3) Shall alert eligible taxpayers of the tax credit using appropriate and available means;
(4) Shall prepare an annual public report to the legislature and the governor containing the:
(A) Number of credits granted for the prior calendar year;
(B) Total amount of the credits granted; and
(C) Average value of the credits granted to taxpayers whose earned income falls within various income ranges; and
(5) May adopt rules pursuant to chapter 91 to effectuate this section."
