A tax credit for working people – you may qualify!The Earned Income Tax Credit or EITC, is a tax credit for people who work, and earn low to modest incomes. Those who qualify and claim the credit could pay less federal tax, and may also get a tax refund, even if they don’t owe any tax at all.

The EITC is the federal government’s largest benefit for workers. For people who have earned income from working for someone or running a business or farm, it’s money that positively impacts change in their life, family and community. This tax credit greatly reduces poverty for working families. These working family credits lifted an estimated 9.4 million people out of poverty, including 5 million or more than half of them children, according to the Internal Revenue Service.

Here are a few things people should know about this credit:

• Taxpayers may move in and out of eligibility for the credit throughout the year. This may happen after major life events. Because of this, it’s a good idea for people to find out if they qualify.

• To qualify, people must meet certain requirements and file a federal tax return. They must file even if they don’t owe any tax or aren’t otherwise required to file.

• Taxpayers qualify based on their income, the number of children they have, and the filing status they use on their tax return. For a child to qualify, they must live with the taxpayer for more than six months of the year.

More details are available on the EITC homepage.
