working families tax relief act

Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown and other Senate Democrats have introduced new legislation called the Working Families Tax Relief Act that would expand a tax credit for low- and middle-income individuals and families. The bill aims to broaden the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), which allows qualifying workers to claim a bigger refund. Depending on who’s filing, and whether they have kids, the credit can be worth a maximum of $529 for an individual with no children to $6,557 for an individual with three or more qualifying children.
