Working Dads and the Earned Income Tax Credit

The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) supports millions of single parents and their children each year. Though the majority of EITC recipients are single mothers, many single fathers receive this benefit as well. In 2014, 4.2 million single fathers were eligible for the EITC. This blog post from the Brookings Institution provides more information about eligible fathers and includes a link to EITC commentaries and resources.
