Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)

     

                    

Now, more than ever, you deserve to keep your money, especially during tax season.  To qualify for FREE tax help and possible earned income tax  and child care credits, your 2009 household income must be less than $52,000.  Being a U.S. citizen is NOT a requirement. 

The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is one of the federal government's largest resources for low-income residents. It reduces the amount of income tax low-to-moderate income families are required to pay, and provides a wage supplement to some families.  According to a the New America Foundation, thousands of Californians fail to claim EITC. Families and local economies suffer when these refunds go unclaimed.  To read more about these latest findings click here.
