Earned Income Tax Credit

Part time and full time workers….you earned it! Now claim it! Making less than $40k - you may be eligible for refundable Earned Income & Child Tax credits. The EITC is a credit for certain people who work. You (and your spouse, if you are filing a joint return) and any qualifying children listed on Schedule EIC need valid social security numbers. To qualify, you must work part-time or full-time, meet certain eligibility rules, and file a 2008 tax return. A simple 1040 or 104E tax filing with the EITC/CTC forms can provide big returns!

Find out if you are eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit or EITC by answering some questions and providing basic income information. The program also assists you in determining your correct filing status, determining whether your child(ren) meets the tests for a qualifying child, and estimating the amount of credit you may receive.

For EITC and CTC Information Call IRS Hotline: 1-800-829-1040
