I hope they add that to your business card or it's on the website, that new title I just given you. All right. And Dr. ██████, her assistant, who's head of this particular part of the program for securing these benefits. Again. Again. Again. Press Star three if you want to ask a question. Press Star three if you want to ask the question. We're going to start it off with a direct conversation with Secretary of Revenue █████████, and he's going to open up about what we're doing with this new program, the Working Pennsylvania tax credit. Mr. Secretary, I got. You know, I got to give you your official title, sir. You know, I got to do that. Mr. Secretary, tell us about the new tax credit program, the Working Pennsylvania Tax Credit. Give us an understanding of how that works, sir. Well, first, thank you, Senator ██████, for having us on, and thank you for your work on this. This is a very important additional provision in our personal income tax system. And what I do know, it will not get done without the work of the Senate Appropriations Chairman. So thanks for all your hard work in making this happen. Thanks to the work assembly, along with you and Governor ███████, we have the first new tax benefit for all working families in the Commonwealth since the forming of the tax system ██ years ago. So it is a. It is a really big deal. And it's important because it's modeled after something that people have depended on for a very long time and have used it to offset some of the constantly rising costs, and that is the Federal Earned Income Tax Credit. It's modeled after a very successful system that the Washington's been running for many years now. It's based off of ██% of that credit. So. So it means hundreds of dollars to families, nearly a million Pennsylvanians. And our estimates show there's ███████████ just in ████████████. Who will benefit from this crime? As you had mentioned, Senator, it's something that's effective for this year, even though the budget was done late in the year. We're working to make sure that it's part of this year's filing system for ████. And there's only really three things that families need to know in order to have earned income in ████████████. That's from wages, from any compensation, from self employment. If you have a small business and you're filing as a sole proprietor, it applies to that as well, that you qualify for the federal credit that's already in place. And you file both your federal and state tax returns. It varies depending on the number of children, dependents and income level. So on our website.
