The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC): Policy and Legislative Issues
Description:
The earned income tax credit began in 1975 as a temporary program to return a portion of the social security taxes paid by lower-income taxpayers, and was made permanent in 1978. In the 1990s, the program became a major component of federal efforts to reduce poverty, and is now the largest anti-poverty entitlement program. This report contains information on the earned income tax credit, policy and legislative issues, compliance, and more.
