TAP A04-070

EITC Forms Testing

Statement of Issue:

Forms and Publications has issued new criteria for testing, which suggests that more EITC documents may be tested in the future.

Proposal:

The Committee recommended (1) that standing focus groups comprised of individuals working with EITC recipients and EITC recipients themselves be established to test EITC forms and instructions; and (2) that the TAP Earned Income Tax Credit Issue Committee be advised as soon as possible of all EITC forms and instructions that are being revised or targeted for revision to allow the Committee to become involved early in the revision process.
