EITC and ACTC Eligibility Verification: New Requirements for Tax Credits

Q: What are the main provisions?

Key points include: Individuals without a Social Security number issued to U.S. citizens or those authorized to work will not receive the EITC. The refundable portion of the ACTC will only be available to taxpayers with a Social Security number issued to U.S. citizens or those authorized to work. These changes will apply to tax years beginning after the law's enactment date.

New rules require individuals claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) to have a Social Security number issued to U.S. citizens or those authorized to work. This aims to ensure that only individuals legally employed in the U.S. can benefit from these credits. These changes may affect the availability of financial support for some families and individuals.
