Earned Income Tax Credit

You^* can claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). It is a tax benefit for people who work. If you qualify, the EITC will reduce your taxes. Last year, the average total refund was over $1,200!
Even if you don't owe income tax, you can get the EITC.

* Undocumented workers are not eligible for EITC, but may be eligible for FREE tax preparation and other tax credits.

You may qualify for the EITC if:

You were raising two or more children and earned less than $37,783 ($39,783 if married).
You were raising one child and earned less than $33,241 ($35,241 if married).
You had no children in your home in 2007, earned less than $12,590 ($14,590 if married) and were between 25 and 64 years old.

Claim the Child Tax Credit, too!

If you have children, you may also qualify for the Federal Child Tax Credit - which provides up to $1,100 for each dependent child under age 17.
