Oregonians for Working Families is a statewide coalition that advocates for an increase in the Oregon Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). Calculated as a percentage of the federal EITC, the Oregon EITC provides a refundable tax credit that helps low- and moderate-income working families with children improve their chances of getting ahead.
