The IRS wants to give you the windfall you deserve!!!

EITC could put an extra $2 or up to $6,660 into the pockets of eligible taxpayers (even more if they live in a state with a similar state credit). This is money taxpayers can use to make their lives a little easier now or money they can put away for a rainy day. 

But workers must file a tax return and claim the credit to receive it. And, that all begins with awareness of EITC.
