ATTN: custodial parents in #NH
If you don’t receive enough child support for the coparent to justify claiming the child as a dependent you might want to attend the hearing in #Concord, tomorrow:

01/28/2025 10:00 am Legislative Office Building 206-208

If you want to submit opposition on line there is a place to submit PUBLIC testimony but I believe they need that 24 hours ahead of time.

I would still click the opposition just in case that updates in the morning.

Use this link below it’s the family law committee tomorrow at 10 AM, HB 322

I keep seeing videos talking about how it’s a myth or a hoax that Trump made it so the person paying child support can claim the child ad a dependent on their taxes, and that may or may not be true, but the New Hampshire Republicans introduced that exact thing.

If anyone sees or hear a discussion about how it’s “fake news” that Trump changed the tax code, please let them know that it’s not the tax code republicans are changing at this time, it’s the state laws.

They already introduced it in New Hampshire.

The paperwork burden that the IRS heaps on #EITC recipients means that their returns contain errors that trigger audits.

As Smith told *Propublica*, "With free, assisted filing, we might expect EITC claimants to make fewer mistakes and face less intense audit scrutiny, which could help reduce disparities in audit rates between Black and non-Black taxpayers."

Meanwhile, the predatory inclusion talking points continue to proliferate.

The effect of state Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) eligibility on food insufficiency during the COVID-19 pandemic - Review of Economics of the Household

This paper uses data from the Household Pulse Survey to examine whether and for how long the eligibility to receive state Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) benefits reduced self-reported household food insufficiency among lower-income households with dependent children during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results of models estimated using difference-in-differences (DD) and difference-in-difference-in-differences (DDD) methods suggest that state EITC eligibility, on average, reduced food insufficiency by about 3 percentage points between March 2021 and early October 2021. However, the results of models estimated using an event study method show that the effect was not visible in all the post-March bimonthly periods. Overall, this paper finds some evidence to suggest that state EITC eligibility reduced food insufficiency over a short period.

Among pregnant mothers, each 10 percentage-point increase in the generosity of state EITC relative to the federal EITC was associated with a lower prevalence of binge drinking prior to conception.

State earned income tax credits and depression and alcohol misuse among women with children - PubMed

About 30% of single mothers in the US live at or below the poverty line. Poverty is associated with higher risk of depression and substance use. We investigated associations between state earned income tax credit (EITC) policies and reported depressive symptoms and alcohol misuse among birthing pare …

Our disabled son got a check from the US Treasury today. No explanation.

E figured it out. It’s EITC money. The American Rescue Plan transiently lowered the eligibility age in 2021. So he could get EITC that year. We didn’t apply for him but the Treasury sent the money anyway.

I would not be surprised if they want it back sometime. Taxes for working disabled are crazy.

I wonder how many people are getting these. Unexpected stimulus bolus.
