Top 10 States: Potential Populations Eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) & the ACA Premium Tax Credit in 2015

1. Florida: 22.5 % / 405,924 tax units*
2. Texas: 21.4 % / 513,061 tax units
3. South Dakota: 20.5 % / 15,124 tax units
4. Louisiana: 19.6 % / 86,512 tax units
5. Montana: 18.9 % / 18,138 tax units
6. Wyoming: 18.4 % / 7,276 tax units
7. Utah: 18.1 % / 42,284 tax units
8. Oklahoma: 18.0% / 63,045 tax units

Notes: *One tax unit equals a single tax return. If a family of four together qualifies for the ACA premium tax credit, they would be counted as one tax unit, not four, since they filed jointly with one tax return.
