FEDERAL TAXES: Information on Payroll Taxes and Earned Income Tax Credit Noncompliance

Abstract

I am pleased to join you today as you address a number of tax issues. You asked that I cover two areas of taxation: (1) how payroll taxes fund Social Security and the Medicare Hospital Insurance programs and (2) noncompliance associated with the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and efforts to deal with that noncompliance. My testimony is based primarily on work we have done in the past. I will summarize my main points and then cover the two tax issues in greater detail.
