Whatβs new for PA tax returns:
The new Working Pennsylvanias Tax Credit.
The Working Pennsylvanians Tax Credit (WPTC) is a new state-level tax credit modeled after the federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). The state credit equals 10 percent of your federal credit.
If you qualify for the federal EITC, you will automatically qualify for the state credit β helping to lower your taxes or increase your refund. The maximum state credit is $805.
