    You work. Let the Earned Income Tax Credit work for you!

    Over the last 40 years, Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)  made life better for millions of workers. You may have extra money waiting for you. If you qualify and claim the credit, it could be several thousand dollars from the IRS for some workers. 

    Don’t be the one in five that misses this credit!

    The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) helps low- to moderate-income workers and families get a tax break. If you qualify, you can use the credit to reduce the taxes you owe – and maybe increase your refund.

    Who Qualifies

    You may claim the EITC if your income is low to moderate. The amount of your credit may change if you have children, dependents, are disabled or meet other criteria.

    Military and clergy should review the Special EITC Rules because using this credit may affect other government benefits.

    Check if You Qualify

    If you claim this credit, your refund may be delayed. By law, the IRS must wait until mid-February to issue refunds to taxpayers who claim the Earned Income Tax Credit.
