The Internal Revenue Service is planning a "pilot" project beginning in August to require "pre-certification" of 45,000 Earned Income Tax Credit recipients. This effort is targeted to filers who are claiming children of whom they are not the parents. OMB Watch commented on the process and the form, which requires documentation or an affidavit to show that the children and caretakers have lived in the same household for six months of the taxpaying year. Comments on the form were due on July 14, 2003, but comments about the process may be submitted through December 31, 2003. See the IRS announcement for more details.
