New Additions to Brookings.edu

For individuals and OBB sites looking for information on the Earned Income Tax Credit, also known as EITC, Brookings.edu has updated their website and now includes an interactive map, which gives lots of information on the EITC over the past 10 years. The interactive map will allow you to view and create reports on how the EITC has specifically affected your area. It also features pertinent information on the EITC and is a good way to inform yourself, which will allow you to inform your clients and spread the word on the EITC. It is a great training tool for sites that will be embarking on their first tax season this year, and sites ready to take their skills and knowledge to the next level as well. You can create accounts and save material to refer to whenever you need. Not to mention this will help you with your tax lingo and answer many questions you may have.
