The Earned Income Credit is the second most government aid program after food stamps. Each year over 80 billion dollars is paid out to low income and proverty level income tax filiers. Last year alone over 13 billion was sent to those "misstating income". The IRS requirement of proof of kinship, meaning a tax filier must prove a relationship to the dependent child claimed for earned income tax and child tax credit will mean: fathers not named on the birth certificate can not claim the child and neither can the father's parents (grandparents). The proof of resident will affect the tax filiers claiming children that does not live with the tax filier. The estimated savings in refunds is more than the budget cuts passed by Congress in 2012. A savings of over 40 billion dollars.
