The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is a refundable federal income tax credit for low to moderate income working individuals and families. Last year over $6.5 million came back to Lane County taxpayers through AARP Tax Aide sites. This year, some of that money could be yours. Will you qualify for EITC this year? Find out here.
In addition to the EITC, some families also can get the Child Tax Credit (CTC), which can be worth up to $1000 per child. The credits can reduce the amount of income taxes workers owe – but even workers who own no taxes can qualify for credits.
Take a moment to gather up all your documents, complete your paperwork and make the most of your tax refund this year.
