Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

(1) The EITC is a refundable federal tax credit for low-income working families that can reduce the amount of taxes owed and result in a tax refund for those who qualify; (2) To qualify, a family (married and filing taxes jointly) must have adjusted gross income in 2010 of less than 45,373 with two children, 40,545 with one child and 18,470 with no children; (3) The EITC lifts millions of families out of poverty each year and is one of the country's largest sources of assistance for poor and low-income families; (4) Enacted in 1975 and expanded in the 1990s, it keeps 6.5 million Americans out of poverty each year; (5) It cost the government about 54 billion in 2010; (6) It encourages employment because it offers a real supplement to wages for qualifying low-income workers; (7) Without the EITC, poverty rates among children would be about one-third higher than they are now.
