Illinois Statutes Chapter 820. Employment § 170/5. Declaration of public policy

§ 5. Declaration of public policy. In order to alleviate the tax burden of low-income persons in Illinois who have earned income and support one or more dependent children, the State should facilitate the furnishing of information to such persons about the availability of the federal earned income tax credit so that eligible taxpayers may claim that credit on their federal income tax returns. It is the intent of this Act to offer the most cost-effective assistance to eligible taxpayers through notices provided by their employers and by State government.
