Abstract: Using the US Department of the Treasury's tax model with an updated race and Hispanic ethnicity (RH) imputation, we find that Hispanic and Black families are not more likely than White families to benefit from the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or Child Tax Credit (CTC) within strata defined by income, RH, filing status, and the presence of children. Average EITC and CTC benefits are still generally higher for Hispanic families, but average CTC benefits are generally lower for Asian and Hispanic families who are married with children.
