Good news! If you’re a worker with low or moderate income, you may qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)—a tax break that could reduce your tax bill or put extra money in your refund.
Who Can Get the EITC?
You may qualify if you meet these rules:
✔️ Earned income within limits (based on filing status and number of dependents)
✔️ Investment income below $11,600 (for 2024 taxes)
✔️ Age 25-65 if filing without children
✔️ U.S. resident or legal resident all year
✔️ Valid Social Security Number
Separated couples may also qualify if they meet special conditions.
How Much Can You Receive?
The amount of credit depends on your income and how many dependents you claim.
Workers without children can receive up to $632, while those with three or more dependents may get as much as $7,830.
How to Claim Your Credit
- File a tax return, even if you don’t owe taxes
- Use Form 1040 and include Schedule EIC if claiming dependents
- Double-check your eligibility to avoid mistakes that could delay your refund
The Earned Income Tax Credit can provide significant financial relief, but you must claim it to benefit.
