Together Strengthening Working Families: The Federal & State Earned Income Tax Credits

Please note that this event will be held at the Russell Senate Building.

Please join the New America Foundation, the National Community Tax Coalition, and other partners for a briefing about the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) just before National EITC Awareness Day. 

The conversation will focus on how the EITC can help families pay for basic necessities and become more financially secure. We will also explore the important interplay between federal and state-level tax credits, and steps to strengthen these policies. Light breakfast will be provided.

 Please RSVP to jthall@tax-coalition.org.
