Get the Tax Refund You Deserve
February 13, 2015
The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). So says the insert that came in my water bill. The requirement for the credit? “Were you employed at least one day last year?” I ask a more important question here: “Tax Credit or Income Transfer?” And by the way, even illegal immigrants who didn’t pay taxes will be able to apply for back-credits once they get Social Security numbers. The refundable portion of the EITC must be eliminated.
