Trump Administration Seeks to Limit Tax Credits for Non-Citizens Legally Working in the United States

GlobeAlert Desk · curated from AEI · North America

A 30-year-old federal law prohibits many noncitizens from receiving various government benefits. Upending the law’s long-standing interpretation, the Trump administration proposes to apply this prohibition to cash payments of certain refundable tax credits. This legally questionable proposal would harm hundreds of thousands of noncitizens legally working in the United States. The post Trump Administration Seeks to Limit Tax Credits for Noncitizens Legally Working in the United States appeared first on American Enterprise Institute - AEI.
