  1.15  income.  The credit is reduced by 1.1475 1.1913 percent of 
  1.16  earned income or modified adjusted gross income, whichever is

  1.22  The credit is reduced by 5.13 5.73 percent of earned income or 
  1.23  modified adjusted gross income, whichever is greater, in excess 
  1.24  of $14,560, but in no case is the credit less than zero. 
  1.25     (d) For individuals with two or more qualifying children, 
  2.1   the credit equals 8.8 ten percent of the first $9,390 of earned

  2.7      (e) For a nonresident or part-year resident, the credit 
  2.8   must be allocated based on the percentage calculated under 
  2.9   section 290.06, subdivision 2c, paragraph (e). 
  2.10     (f) For a person who was a resident for the entire tax year 
  2.11  and has earned income not subject to tax under this chapter, the 
  2.12  credit must be allocated based on the ratio of federal adjusted 
  2.13  gross income reduced by the earned income not subject to tax 
  2.14  under this chapter over federal adjusted gross income. 
  2.15     (g) The commissioner shall construct tables showing the 
  2.16  amount of the credit at various income levels and make them 
  2.17  available to taxpayers.  The tables shall follow the schedule 
  2.18  contained in this subdivision, except that the commissioner may
