TAP E06-034

EITC Marketing Insert

Issue Statement:

Many eligible taxpayers do not cliam the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC).  This is due to the lack of awareness of the credit and/or its requirements. There is also a number of improper claims made for the credit.

Proposal:

TAP recommended a marketing insert  be distributed to tax preparers and large corporations to provide  a handy reference tool, either by hard copy or via email, that may heighten EITC awareness.
