EITC Awareness Day, January 30, 2015

IRS invites community organizations, elected officials, state and local governments, schools, employers, and other interested parties to join a national grassroots effort on EITC Awareness Day, January 30, 2015, to spotlight EITC. IRS estimates four of five eligible taxpayers claim and get this important credit. Help ensure everyone gets the EITC they earned.  Best of all, EITC is a financial boost for working people and your local economy.

EITC Awareness Day Vision Statement

EITC Awareness Day is a one-day blitz in mainstream and social media -to reach the broadest possible range of potentially-eligible taxpayers, including taxpayer segments we believe under claim EITC and newly eligible taxpayers.

For the last 40 years, Earned Income Tax Credit made life better for millions of workers. You may have extra money waiting for you. If you qualify and claim the credit, it could be worth $6,143 from the IRS for some workers.

Don’t be the one in five that misses this credit. If you or someone you know earned less than $52,427 from wages, running a business or farm or from Form 1099 Misc, check it out.

It’s easy to find out if you qualify. Stop by any National Tax Service store, answer a few questions about yourself and other family members to see if you qualify and estimate the amount of your credit.

EITC eligibility depends on several factors, including income and family size. If you don’t have a qualifying child and earned under $20,000, find out if you qualify for a smaller credit, worth as much as $496.
