Working Uninsured Tax Equity Act of 1999
Have a question about what this bill does? Ask in plain English; the answer is drawn from the bill's actual text and official record, and it'll tell you when something isn't in the text rather than guess.
Limits the full credit to individuals whose adjusted gross income is under $30,000 ($50,000 if filing a joint return). Disallows any credit to a married individual filing a separate return, but treats married individuals living apart and filing separate returns as not married (thus qualifying them for the credit). Prescribes a formula for phase-out of the credit for taxpayers with an adjusted gross income exceeding $30,000 ($50,000 for a joint return) by less than $10,000.
Allows self-employed individuals to elect such credit or the deduction for medical expenses, but not both.
States that such credit does not apply to long- term health care insurance.
Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.
