Relates to the college tuition credit
S 7906 modifies New York's college tuition tax credit by introducing a sliding scale based on income. It eliminates the credit entirely for married couples filing jointly with New York adjusted gross income over $15 million, and reduces it to 25% for those earning $7.5-$15 million. For single filers and heads of household, the credit phases out entirely above $10 million, with reductions at $1-$5 million and $5-$10 million income brackets. This change directly affects high-income New York taxpayers who claim the tuition credit, making it less accessible as their income increases.
