The Improper Payments Act report shows just under $19 billion was lost in improper EITC payments in FY2018. NASA’s FY2018 budget was $20.7 billion just to compare the scale of the loss. Every little bit of fraud, waste, and abuse does add up to something quite large in the aggregate.
ProPublica is asking the wrong questions. They should be asking what we should do with refundable tax credit programs that have such high error rates in payments. What we’re doing currently isn’t working best.
