Taxes

Policymakers have prioritized tax cuts for the top 1%, giving us a tax code that fails to raise adequate revenues, disproportionately benefits the wealthiest and big corporations, and contains too few tax provisions that increase racial, gender, and economic equity. NWLC is working to harness the tax code’s full potential to advance gender and racial equity by ensuring those at the top pay their fair share in taxes, making the tax code work better for everyday women and families, and raising more federal revenues to support investments in women and families.

Tax credits for families like the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Child Tax Credit (CTC), which boost earnings for low-wage workers and help families meet their expenses, can make a huge difference in the lives of women and families. 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.
