Helping Working Families: The Earned Income Tax Credit

Saul Hoffman () and Laurence Seidman

in Books from Upjohn Press from W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research

Abstract: Hoffman and Seidman offer a complete assessment of the EITC in which they analyze, evaluate, summarize, and critique the state of the program. The authors find that, overall, the EITC works well, and that it has earned its political popularity. Yet they also uncover several problem areas that they address with specific recommendations based on their analysis.
