Tax Law Changes

Individual Package

• Child Tax Credit and Working Family Credit – Beginning tax year 2023, eligible taxpayers can claim a credit of $1,750 per qualifying child, with no limit on the number of children claimed. The credit is combined with the Working Family Credit and is reduced when the greater of the filer’s earned income or adjusted gross income exceeds $29,500 ($35,000 if Married Filing Jointly).

• Social Security Subtraction – If the taxpayer received Social Security benefits and their adjusted gross income is less than or equal to the following thresholds, the taxpayer may be eligible to subtract the full amount of their taxable benefits: $78,000 for Single or Head of Household, $100,000 for Married Filing Jointly or Qualifying Surviving Spouse, and $50,000 for Married Filing Separately. If the taxpayer’s income is greater than the threshold amounts, they may be eligible to subtract a portion of their benefits.

• Qualified Retirement Benefit Subtraction – If the taxpayer received a pension for certain public services, they may be able to subtract up to $12,500 in pension income ($25,000 for Married Filing Jointly or Qualified Surviving Spouse).

The credit is reduced for taxpayers whose income exceeds $70,000 (previously $33,500).

• Child and Dependent Care Credit – The taxpayer no longer has to file a Married Filing Jointly return to claim the credit for a child born during the year. Taxpayers may be eligible to calculate their credit using $3,000 of expenses in regards to a child born in 2023, even if they did not have actual expenses for that child or if only one spouse had earned income. See Schedule M 1CD, Child and Dependent Care Credit, for more information.
