IRC §36A. Making work pay credit
(1) 6.2 percent of earned income of the taxpayer, or
(2) $400 ($800 in the case of a joint return).
The amount allowable as a credit under subsection (a) (determined without regard to this paragraph and subsection (c)) for the taxable year shall be reduced (but not below zero) by 2 percent of so much of the taxpayer’s modified adjusted gross income as exceeds $75,000 ($150,000 in the case of a joint return).
For purposes of subparagraph (A),1 the term “modified adjusted gross income” means the adjusted gross income of the taxpayer for the taxable year increased by any amount excluded from gross income under section 911, 931, or 933.
(c) Reduction for certain other payments
The credit allowed under subsection (a) for any taxable year shall be reduced by the amount of any payments received by the taxpayer during such taxable year under section 2201, and any credit allowed to the taxpayer under section 2202, of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Tax Act of 2009.
(i) any nonresident alien individual,
(ii) any individual with respect to whom a deduction under section 1 is allowable to another taxpayer for a taxable year beginning in the calendar year in which the individual’s taxable year begins, and
(iii) an estate or trust.
(B) Identification number requirement
(i) such individual’s social security account number, and
(ii) in the case of a joint return, the social security account number of one of the taxpayers on such return.
The term “earned income” has the meaning given such term by section 32(c)(2), except that such term shall not include net earnings from self-employment which are not taken into account in computing taxable income. For purposes of the preceding sentence, any amount excluded from gross income by reason of section 112 shall be treated as earned income which is taken into account in computing taxable income for the taxable year.
This section shall not apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2010.
