Earned Income Tax Credit Puts More Money In Your Pocket

The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is a refundable federal income tax credit for low to moderate income working people. Those who claim the EITC may pay lower taxes, no taxes or even receive a refund—and may also qualify for a state EITC. New parents, foster parents, grandparents raising a grandchild and military families—all should explore their eligibility for the EITC. More information is available from the Internal Revenue Service at www.irs.gov or by calling 1-800-829-1040.

The online EITC Assistant at www.irs.gov makes it easy to find out if you are eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit, and calculates the amount of EITC you may receive.
