What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Tax Cut for Workers Act of 2025," aims to expand and make permanent certain changes to the earned income credit. It lowers the minimum age required to receive the credit for certain individuals, including students and former foster or homeless youth. The legislation also removes the maximum age limit for the credit. Additionally, it increases credit and phaseout percentages, as well as earned income and phaseout amounts. The bill includes provisions for inflation adjustments and extends the application of the credit to certain U.S. possessions. Finally, it allows taxpayers to elect to use their prior year's earned income to determine their credit.
