S 2079 Massachusetts Senate · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act establishing a commuter tax credit

S 2079, introduced by Senator Bruce Tarr, would establish a commuter tax credit to reduce state income tax for eligible residents. The credit would directly lower the tax amount owed for qualifying commuting expenses, such as public transportation fares or vehicle-related costs for work commutes. This revenue-related bill aims to provide tax relief to commuters who meet specific eligibility criteria. The bill does not specify the credit amount or detailed eligibility rules in its abstract.
