Earned Income Tax Credit

Throughout the United States, millions of people are working hard to make life better for themselves and their families. With the jobs they hold, many of them simply cannot earn enough to achieve their goals. However, eligible families can get as much as $4,716 from the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), and even more if they qualify for the Child Tax Credit (CTC). Claiming the credits can put an eligible worker on the path to securing better housing, pursuing higher education, obtaining dependable transportation, covering out-of-pocket health care costs, or paying for quality child care.

As much as $4,716 - or more - could be waiting for you!

If you worked in 2007, had children living with you and earned less than about $38,000 OR did not have children living with you and earned less than about $13,000, YOU COULD QUALIFY!
