Tax Credit for Temporary Health/Emergency Workers, Reduced Highway Funds for States.

This bill introduces a federal income tax credit for individuals temporarily providing health or emergency services in another state. This means eligible medical and emergency personnel could get back state income taxes paid on such earnings. However, states benefiting from this credit will see a reduction in their federal highway funds, potentially impacting infrastructure projects.
Key points
Individuals temporarily working as doctors, nurses, or first responders in another state can claim a federal tax credit for state income taxes paid on those earnings.
States where these services are provided will receive less federal highway funding, potentially affecting local road projects.
The credit applies to services provided after March 16, 2020, and will end once the COVID-19 emergency is declared over.
