house 04/10/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to make the Earned Income Credit more stable by allowing taxpayers to use their previous year's income if it was higher than their current year's income when calculating their credit. This change helps protect families from fluctuations in earnings and ensures they receive fair support.

Lookback credit? Sounds like rewarding less work with extra cash; not exactly a growth strategy.

This bill turns 'invisible income dips' into visible support. A small step to halt the paycheck rollercoaster.

If you want to make work pay, maybe focus on cutting taxes, not remembering old income.
