Over 100 national, state, and local organizations are urging Chair Smith, Chair Kelly, Chair LaHood, Vice Chair Carey, and the members of the House Ways and Means Committee’s American Workforce Tax Team to expand the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) to support all workers, including unpaid caregivers. The letter calls for removing age restrictions, increasing credit amounts, raising income limits, and extending the credit to unpaid caregiving work. These changes are essential to ensuring more Americans can meet rising costs and maintain financial security.
