This section focuses on tax credit information that can be accessed for individual states, such as participation rates, legislative activity, and state specific contact information.
The Tax Credit for Workers and Their Families site is a resource for research and information about the EITC, CTC, CDCTC, and the Property Tax Circuit Breaker.
These fact sheets provide state-by-state data on how the EITC and CTC reduce poverty, who benefits, how state EITCs can supplement the federal credit, and who benefits from two proposals to strengthen the credits.
This paper makes the case for why states should consider a state-based EITC program. It explains how the EITC design rewards working families, how most states model their EITCs on the federal credit, and how state EITCs are easy to administer and less expensive than many other tax cuts.
