Overview
The Tax Cut for Workers Act of 2025 aims to expand and make permanent certain changes to the earned income credit (EIC). It lowers the minimum age to qualify for the credit to 19, removes age limits entirely, and increases the amount of the credit and the income levels at which it phases out. The bill also includes adjustments for inflation and provides a mechanism for taxpayers to use their prior year’s earned income if it’s lower than their current income, particularly beneficial for joint filers.
