Earned Income Tax Credit - Notice of Eligibility - Alteration

HB 603 changes how Maryland employers must inform employees about eligibility for the state Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). It requires the Comptroller to send annual income eligibility limits to all employers by January 1st (via mail or electronic means), and mandates employers to provide written or electronic notices to employees with wages below that limit about both federal and state EITC eligibility. The bill also clarifies employers cannot be sued for failing to provide these notices. This affects all Maryland employers and low-income workers potentially qualifying for the EITC, effective July 1, 2025.
