description: "The Personal Income Tax Law, beginning on or after January 1, 2015, in modified conformity with federal income tax laws, allows an earned income tax credit against personal income tax and a payment from the Tax Relief and Refund Account, a continuously appropriated fund, for an allowable credit in excess of tax liability to an eligible individual that is equal to that portion of the earned income tax credit allowed by federal law as determined by the earned income tax credit adjustment factor, as specified. The law provides that the amount of the credit is calculated as a percentage of the eligible individual's earned income and is phased out above a specified amount as income increases and provides alternative calculation factors under specified circumstances. Existing law, in conformity with federal income tax laws, disallows the credit to an eligible individual with a qualifying child if the individual does not include on the tax return the social security numbers of that individual, the individual's spouse if married, and any qualifying child of the individual. Existing law, for purposes of this disallowance and in conformity with federal income tax laws, excludes specified social security numbers, including those issued to individuals who are applicants for or recipients of benefits under any program financed in whole or in part from federal funds."

# California AB 93 (20192020) — Personal income taxes: earned income tax credit: young child tax credit: federal individual taxpayer identification number.

The Personal Income Tax Law, beginning on or after January 1, 2015, in modified conformity with federal income tax laws, allows an earned income tax credit against personal income tax and a payment from the Tax Relief and Refund Account, a continuously appropriated fund, for an allowable credit in excess of tax liability to an eligible individual that is equal to that portion of the earned income tax credit allowed by federal law as determined by the earned income tax credit adjustment factor, as specified. The law provides that the amount of the credit is calculated as a percentage of the eligible individual's earned income and is phased out above a specified amount as income increases and provides alternative calculation factors under specified circumstances. Existing law, in conformity with federal income tax laws, disallows the credit to an eligible individual with a qualifying child if the individual does not include on the tax return the social security numbers of that individual, the individual's spouse if married, and any qualifying child of the individual. Existing law, for purposes of this disallowance and in conformity with federal income tax laws, excludes specified social security numbers, including those issued to individuals who are applicants for or recipients of benefits under any program financed in whole or in part from federal funds.
