I understand what you're saying, and it's true it will be handicapping some people, but it appears the state says that the median credit was $2,000 prior to this. And with it seemingly being a refundable credit now, the new $2,500 tax credit will actually be a boost to at least half the people who claimed the EOTC. I dare say a lot more than that even because there were also people who fell under the "nonrefundable" degrees and were handicapped even more, particularly the people who were perhaps on Income-Base Repayments and other programs.

Everyone could have won if they had changed it from STEM degrees to STEAM degrees which seems to be becoming the preferred acronym in the educational system anyway…
