Source Description
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) produces numerous studies which provide statistics on income, deductions, tax, and credits reported on individual Form 1040 income tax returns. Individual tax statistics are publicly available through the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) SOI Tax Statistics web page.
Methodology
The Earned Income Tax Credit Series documents the role of the EITC and other provisions in the tax code increasingly play in delivering support to low-income workers and their families, and explores the impact of proposed changes to these policies on low-income taxpayers and their communities. Data was downloaded and processed through the SOI Tax Stats County Data tool, which provides users with access to IRS data on federal individual income tax filers.
