Population-Specific EITC Considerations and Programs

Many social justice advocates, organizations and policy makers across the United States are concerned with increasing the economic stability of underserved and marginalized populations. Numerous strategies are utilized towards this end, including tax credit and deduction programs. Resources here include tax preparation services, research on how to increase access to tax credit programs, and specific tax codes relevant to Native Americans, workers who are immigrants, and workers with disabilities. There are also helpful resources to address the concerns of domestic violence survivors in the tax filing process.
