Bill 46-26 Would Create County Child Tax Credit for Low-Income Families

Stewart Sep 15, 2026
Councilmembers Stewart and Evans introduced Bill 46-26 on Sept. 15, 2026, which would establish a Montgomery County child tax credit authorized by Maryland's House Bill 363 during the 2026 General Assembly session. Taxpayers with a federal adjusted gross income of $15,000 or less could claim a $500 credit per qualified child against county income tax, with the credit phasing down by $50 for each $1,000 of income above the threshold. A public hearing is scheduled for Oct. 13, 2026.
