The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is a special credit that helps working taxpayers in lower income levels. If you
qualify, the EITC will reduce the amount of tax you owe and potentially give you a refund from the IRS.
Even if you do not owe taxes or are not required to file a tax return according to IRS regulations, you can still take advantage of the credit. However, in order to do so, you do need to file a return to claim it.
To qualify, you must have earned income from an employer or from running or owning a business and meet a few other basic rules. Check out 7 FAQs about the Earned Income Tax Credit to learn more.
