We find that assistance generates a large and statistically significant short-run increase in reported tax liabilities: reported amounts rise by 41 percent on average, with peak effects exceeding 270 percent within three months, driven by adjustment tax liabilities. However, these effects are temporary and dissipate within fifteen months.
