520	3		_aThe Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is the largest antipoverty fiscal policy program for working families administered by the Internal Revenue Service (EITCs totaled $42 billion in 2003). For the 2004 tax season, U.S.-Mexico border county EITC refunds reached $1.9 billion while total tax refund amounts for low-income borderlands families topped $2.6 billion. Questionnaires administered during the tax-filing season to working families in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California border counties collected more than forty-five hundred surveys that canvassed respondents on a variety of financial behaviors and tax refund expenditures. Additionally, researchers recorded data on tax filers using their tax refunds to capitalize microbusinesses and respondents' desires to know more about operating a microbusiness. Empirical analysis employing logistic regression produces results that parallel previous findings in the literature and suggests actionable policy prescriptions that may support family and community entrepreneurial activities in the borderlands.
