Did you know: Filing your taxes does NOT affect your immigration status. The IRS does not share citizenship information with ICE or any federal agency.

Among pregnant mothers, each 10 percentage-point increase in the generosity of state EITC relative to the federal EITC was associated with a lower prevalence of binge drinking prior to conception.

--

The EITC is an often misunderstood tax credit, but it can help individuals and families reduce their tax bill when used correctly. We’ve gathered the information and resources you need to better understand the EITC.

Adopting the most generous state Earned Income Tax Credit policy would have a dramatic effect on child poverty—nearly 2.7 million children’s families would no longer live below the poverty line.

The #EITC is one of the most promising ways to fight poverty but many eligible families don't receive it.
Findings from @DrRitaHamad@twitter.com + coauthors in @Health_Affairs@twitter.com examine ways to increase EITC up-take through new policies + community interventions. https://twitter.com/Health_Affairs/status/1600885141651345408

“The generosity of these anti-poverty programs matters. Even relatively small increases in income may lower the risk of maltreatment by reducing economic stress and supporting parents’ capacity to engage in nurturing behaviors.” ~Ali Rowhani-Rahbar @uwepidemiology

“Income support may reduce child maltreatment directly by increasing income and reducing material hardships or indirectly by reducing parental stress and improving parenting.”

Thrilled to be presenting at @Health_Affairs@twitter.com briefing on Dec 8 re: building income supports for low-income families with kids. Important implications for design of public policy (especially #EITC).

#Introduction

I am a Sociologist at Goethe-University Frankfurt. I am mainly doing research on #Poverty, #LabourMarkets, and #SocialPolicy.

I am currently working on a project on systems of public benefits to low-earners in Europe (#inworkbenefits, #EITC, #SocialAssistance). I am looking at effects on labour markets and social inequality using #EU-SILC and #OECD data (thanks to funding by the German Research Foundation). I will post updates here and look forward to learn about new research.

The IRS is now asking for "additional documentation" for the Earned Income Tax Credit. After they receive your returns. Since January, apparently. Long list, feels like an audit. Or an unpaid job. In a recession. Why is nobody talking about this?
#EarnedIncomeTaxCredit #EITC

#Introduction

I'm an #economist of the #laboreconomics variety. I study #unemployment, the #EITC, wage determination, #inequality, and #education (both #k12 and postsecondary).

I am a professor of public policy and economics at #Berkeley, where I'm also the faculty director of the California Policy Lab. I have affiliations with #NBER, #IZA, #CESifo, etc. Formerly chief economist at USDOL, senior economist at CEA.

I don't post a lot but occasionally post long threads about policy.
