NOTE:

Thanks for visiting! The deadline to file your 2024 taxes was April 15, 2025. If you didn’t claim your Earned Income Tax Credit but think you qualify, you may be able to backfile for past years or amend your 2024 return. Groups like Get Your Refund are available for help.

If you got your EITC this year, we want to hear from you! Let us know how it went.

Not sure if you qualify? Check your Eligibility

NOTE:

If you are an undocumented immigrant and have not filed taxes before, or if you previously filed your taxes using an ITIN: earlier this week, a court filing revealed that the IRS and Department of Homeland Security signed an agreement to facilitate sharing certain information disclosed by taxpayers who file tax returns using ITINs. If you are undocumented or previously used an ITIN, you may want to consider consulting an immigration attorney before filing your taxes this year.

What is the EITC?

The earned income tax credit is a refund from the federal government for working people. It is one of the largest programs for people and families to build their financial cushions in the United States.
