A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to require taxpayers claiming the child and earned income tax credits, and their qualifying children, to have a valid social security number for employment purposes.

Bill 119 s 268, also known as the "Child and Earned Income Tax Credit Integrity Act," aims to make changes to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The main purpose of this bill is to require taxpayers who are claiming the child and earned income tax credits to have a valid social security number for employment purposes. This means that both the taxpayer and their qualifying children must have a valid social security number in order to be eligible for these tax credits.

By requiring a valid social security number for both the taxpayer and their qualifying children, the bill aims to increase the integrity of the child and earned income tax credit programs.

Overall, Bill 119 s 268 seeks to prevent fraud and abuse of the tax credit system by ensuring that only those who are eligible and have valid social security numbers are able to claim these credits. This bill is an important step towards ensuring that taxpayer dollars are being used appropriately and that the tax credit programs are being administered fairly and accurately.
