Building Prosperous Communities: A Working Floridians Tax Rebate for over 2 million Florida households

Although Florida is often called a “low tax” state, the truth is that the state’s tax system is among the most regressive in the country. Florida’s tax code favors those who earn the most, pressures those who make the least, and exacerbates income and race inequity.

Policymakers can help build more prosperous communities by ensuring more workers and their families make ends meet. The Working Floridians Tax Rebate – Florida’s state-level Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) – is a chance to reform Florida’s tax code, increase economic stability and opportunity, boost local economic activity, and improve child and community well-being.
