Fiscal Note (Dept. of Revenue)
In tax year 2005, the Earned Income Tax Credit reduced Illinois Income Tax Revenues by $60.5 million and required the expenditure of an additional $16.5 million in TANF moneys. If the rate had been equal to 7.5% of the federal credit, it would have reduced Illinois Income Tax revenues by $80 million and would have required the expenditure of $35 million in TANF moneys. If the rate had been equal to 10% of the federal credit, it would have reduced Illinois Income Tax revenues by $96 million and would have required the expenditure of $58 million in TANF moneys.
