EITC Works

The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) helps people who work but struggle to get by on low wages, while also reducing poverty, increasing tax fairness, and boosting local economies across the state. Doubling the Illinois Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) from 10 to 20% of the federal EITC is one of the best investments Illinois can make.

This map allows Illinois residents to explore their legislative district and see how EITC effects them.
