Bill overview
The EITC Lookback Act aims to permanently expand the existing Earned Income Credit (EITC) lookback provision. This means that if a taxpayer’s earned income decreases from one year to the next, they can choose to use their higher income from the previous year when calculating their EITC eligibility. This change is designed to help more low-to-moderate income workers qualify for and receive the EITC. The provisions will take effect starting with tax year 2025.
