While most policy advocates agree that Americans who work full-time should not live in poverty, a new report from the National Center for Children in Poverty (NCCP), Taxing the Poor: State Income Tax Policies Make a Big Difference to Working Families, highlights that some state policies push working families further into poverty by imposing income tax liabilities on poverty-level earnings. The report highlights how some states utilize the EITC and Child Tax Credits to alleviate the tax burden on the working poor, other states do not. This report is released in conjunction with NCCP’s 50-State Policy Tracker, a free online tool for comparing work supports that are critical for the economic security of working families, including the income tax policies discussed in Taxing the Poor.
