Tax Credits for Families

Tax credits for families like the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Child Tax Credit (CTC) lift millions of women and children out of poverty each year.

NWLC is fighting to expand these and other refundable tax credits that make the tax system work better for women, people of color, and their families.
