A Tax Cut for Working Families

January, 2008 - Thousands of families in Washington face daily challenges to making ends meet— low-wage incomes are insufficient to cover the high costs of healthcare, childcare, and job-related expenses. To make matters worse, these families pay higher percentages of their incomes in state and local taxes than wealthier residents.
A Working Families Credit will cut taxes for more than 350,000 Washington residents by adding 10 percent to their federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) refund.

The State of Washington’s Children 2012 is a broad review of how Washington’s 1.5 million kids are faring in tough times. The report is issued by KIDS COUNT in Washington, a new partnership we formed with Children’s Alliance to improve young lives in Washington. Download the report.
