    No. If you reported $0 in income on your taxes, you get nothing. There’s a minimum income to get anything back. So if you don’t work, you get nothing, so you are incentivized to find a job of some kind.

    But that minimum should be quite low and attainable.

      NIT is specifically letting people start in a refund position. 0 income gets the largest total refund.
