VITA: Earned Income Tax Credit
About EITC?
Earned Income Tax Credit is a refundable federal tax credit for people who worked all or part of the time during the year but who did not earn a lot of money including those who paid little or no income tax. With EITC you may get a refund of some or all the money paid in taxes during the year and in certain cases, even more than what you paid because YOU EARNED IT
Who can get an EITC Refund?
Taxpayers
with the earnings of or below $38,646
($41,646 if married filing jointly) for families with
two or more children; $33,995
($36,995 married filing jointly) for families with
one child or $12,880 ($15,880
married filing jointly) if there are no children
should check to see if they qualify.
Eligible persons who worked all or part of the time during the
year and are raising one or more children or persons ages 25
up to 64 who are NOT raising children.
This includes Immigrants, their spouses and children
who have a valid Social Security number that allows them to
work legally in the US.
Working Immigrants that only have an Individual
Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) CANNOT get EITC but
they can file an Income Tax Return and may be able to get
Child Tax Credit and other tax benefits. Your filing status
must be Single, Married Filing Jointly, Head of Household or
Qualifying Widow or Widower to claim EITC.
Your filing status cannot be Married Filing Separate
to claim the EITC.
