Get Your Taxes Done for Free!

File your taxes for FREE and access the Earned Income Tax Credit – a refundable federal income tax credit for eligible low-income working individuals and families.

If you worked during 2016, and your household earned income was less than $53,930, you may be eligible to claim and receive the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) of up to $6,318*. To qualify for the EITC, you must:

Be a U.S. Citizen or Legal Permanent Resident
Have a valid social security number
Earned income during 2016

$48,340 ($53,930 married filing jointly) with three or more qualifying children

$39,617 ($45,207 married filing jointly) with one qualifying child
$15,010 ($20,600 married filing jointly) with no qualifying children

EITC amounts can range from $1 to $6,318
