An Act amending the act of March 4, 1971 (P.L.6, No.2), known as the Tax Reform Code of 1971, in personal income tax, further providing for definitions and providing for physical health improvement tax credit.
HB 2201 creates a new tax credit for Pennsylvania residents who pay qualified fitness expenses, such as gym memberships or in-person exercise classes at eligible facilities. It defines "qualified sports and fitness expenses" to exclude virtual instruction (unless live), books, and one-on-one training, and specifies that fitness facilities must not offer golf/hunting/sailing and must comply with anti-discrimination laws. The credit allows single filers to claim up to $500 and joint filers up to $1,000 annually, but it is non-refundable and cannot be carried forward to future tax years. This provision applies to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2024, directly affecting residents who incur qualifying physical health-related expenses.
