US EditionTrump's 'Big Beautiful' Spending Bill Could Make It Harder to Claim This Low-Income Tax Credit
- The House-approved One Big Beautiful Bill includes a provision that, if enacted, would mandate advance certification for each child claimed by filers seeking the EITC starting in 2028.
- This proposal follows earlier studies from the George W. Bush administration showing precertification reduced eligible claims and had a lower enforcement return on investment than audits.
- The EITC offers a refundable tax credit worth up to $8,046 in 2025 to about 23 million workers, aiming to support low-income families with earned income up to $61,555 for singles.
- Last week, nine Democratic Senators sent a letter to Senate Republican leaders expressing concern that the proposed changes to the EITC would increase the program's difficulties and create additional barriers for eligible individuals seeking to claim the credit.
- The measure still needs Senate approval, and experts say it could burden eligible filers, potentially delay refunds, and cause some to forgo the credit amid uncertain legislative outcomes.
