|

the federal earned income tax |
| 9 | | credit allowed for the
taxable year under Section 32 of the |
| 10 | | federal Internal Revenue Code, 26 U.S.C.
32, each individual |
| 11 | | taxpayer is entitled to a credit against the tax imposed by
|
| 12 | | subsections (a) and (b) of Section 201 in an amount equal to
5% |
| 13 | | of the federal tax credit for each taxable year beginning on or |
| 14 | | after
January 1,
2000.
|
| 15 | | For a non-resident or part-year resident, the amount of the |
| 16 | | credit under this
Section shall be in proportion to the amount |
| 17 | | of income attributable to this
State.

liability to less than zero. For each taxable year |
| 21 | | beginning on or after
January 1, 2003, if the amount of the |
| 22 | | credit exceeds the income tax liability
for the applicable tax |
| 23 | | year, then the excess credit shall be refunded to the
taxpayer. |
