Earned Income Tax Credit
The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) helps workers and families with low-to-moderate income get a tax break. If you qualify, you can use the credit to reduce the taxes you owe — and possibly even increase your refund. If you have children, dependents, have a disability, or meet other criteria, you may qualify for more of the EITC.
Visit the IRS’ website to learn more about the EITC. Use their EITC Assistant to find out if you qualify and to estimate your credit amount.
