Footnotes from Data Source: For EITC, individuals are allowed a credit against the Maryland income tax for half the federal earned income credit, up to the amount of the Maryland income tax. The revenue of the subdivisions is affected by this credit, as there is also a local portion of the earned income tax credit. For low income individuals, a portion of the State earned income credit may be refundable. These data are not available disaggregated by race/ethnicity from the data source.
