Summary:

Reviews economic research on earned income tax credit (EITC), a refundable tax credit available to eligible workers earning relatively low wages. Outlines history of EITC, focusing on its evolution from a modest "work bonus" to a major antipoverty program. Evaluates EITC, reviewing economic literature on how the credit has affected taxpayers' decisions to work, how it has affected tax burdens among different taxpayers, and complexity of administering this tax provision.
