The first column presents the baseline response model, while the second column estimates the model with a full set of controls. Control variables include indicators for filing status, past claiming behavior, mode of tax preparation, gender, as well as expected benefit size and income. The next two columns estimate the baseline model for recipients with and without dependents. The final columns estimate the baseline model of denials without and then with controls. The relative size of the estimated effects compared to the response rate of the simple mailing (i.e., the control) is reported in brackets. p-values report results of F-tests that check for the joint significance of interventions in the specified categories. Errors are robust with standard errors clustered at each zip code. ***Significant at the 1 percent level. **Significant at the 5 percent level. *Significant at the 10 percent level.
