                        year and did not claim the earned income tax 
                        credit, or
                            (ii) did not (as of such determination) 
                        file a return of tax for such taxable year.

apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2023.

SEC. 4. PAYMENTS TO TAXPAYERS DETERMINED BY TREATING STATE NON-
              REFUNDABLE EARNED INCOME TAX CREDITS AS REFUNDABLE.

    (a) In General.--The Secretary shall establish a program for making 
annual payments to eligible individuals equal to the State refundable 
earned income tax credit equivalency amount with respect to taxable 
years beginning in calendar years after 2023.
    (b) Eligible Individual.--For purposes of this section--
            (1) In general.--The term ``eligible individual'' means any 
        individual who is eligible for, and claims, a non-refundable 
        earned income tax credit for a taxable year beginning after 
        December 31, 2023, under the income tax laws of an eligible 
        State.
            (2) Eligible state.--The term ``eligible State'' means any 
        State if--
                    (A) the Secretary determines that such States has 
                in effect, as of the date of the enactment of this Act, 
                a non-refundable earned income tax credit, and
                    (B) such State enters into an agreement with the 
                Secretary to provide the Secretary such information as 
                the Secretary may require to administer this section.
            (3) Non-refundable earned income tax credit.--
                    (A) In general.--The term ``non-refundable earned 
                income tax credit'' means, with respect to any State, a 
                credit against the income tax imposed by such State 
                which the Secretary has determined is based on the 
                earned income of the taxpayer and which is limited to 
                the tax liability of such taxpayer.
                    (B) Treatment of certain credit modifications.--A 
                credit shall not be treated as a non-refundable earned 
                income tax credit for any taxable year if the Secretary 
                determines that such credit as in effect for such 
                taxable year has been modified (relative to such credit 
                as in effect on the date of the enactment of this Act) 
                in manner which suggests that a significant purpose of 
                such modification was to increase the amount of 
                payments made under this section.
                    (C) Treatment of credits scheduled to terminate.--A 
                credit shall not be treated as non-refundable earned 
                income tax credit for any taxable year if such credit 
                was not scheduled to be in effect for such taxable year 
                under the income tax laws of the State as in effect on 
                the date of the enactment of this Act.
    (c) State Refundable Earned Income Tax Credit Equivalency Amount.--
For purposes of this section, the term ``State refundable earned income 
tax credit equivalency amount'' means, with respect to any individual 
for any taxable year, the amount determined by the Secretary as being 
the excess (if any) of--
            (1) the amount of the non-refundable earned income tax 
        credit which would have been allowed to such individual for 
        such taxable year if such credit were not limited based on the 
        tax liability of the taxpayer, over
            (2) the amount by which such individual's State income tax 
        liability would increase if such credit were not allowed 
        (determined after taking into account all other income tax 
        credits other than income tax credits which constitute credits 
        for the payment of tax).
    (d) Payments Treated in Same Manner as Refundable Income Tax 
Credits.--Except as otherwise provided by the Secretary, the program 
established under subsection (a) shall effectuate the payments 
described therein by deeming the amount of such payment as a payment of 
Federal income tax for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. 
Any overpayment of tax attributable to such deemed payment shall be 
refunded by the Secretary as soon as practicable. For purposes of 
section 1324 of title 31, United States Code, any such refund shall be 
treated in the same manner as a refund due from a credit provision 
referred to in subsection (b)(2) of such section.
    (e) Secretary.--For purposes of this section, the term 
``Secretary'' means the Secretary of the Treasury or the Secretary's 
delegate.
