    We produced two state-level tables estimating the new federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) recipients among older workers aged 65 and over without kids, assuming the upper age limit were removed. These estimates were generated using the Tax Policy Center’s (TPC) Federal Income Tax and State Income Tax models. The tables provide state-level numbers of new recipients based on 2023 and 2024 data.
