The department must select and collaborate with a third-party entity to identify resident individuals who may have been eligible for the credit in 2022 but did not file a federal income tax return in 2022. The third-party entity will create a prefilled form for each resident individual who may be eligible for the pilot program. The pilot program must begin no later than 8 months after the internal revenue service has approved it.
