Get what you’re owed – claim your Earned Income Tax Credit today

You’re likely spending more on groceries, utilities, and child care than you did a few years ago. If the government owes you money, then you deserve to get the tax return you’ve worked for. Put money back in your pocket – up to $8,000 for some people – with the Earned Income Tax Credit.

One way people can get money back from the government is the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). The EITC 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. It is for single people and people with kids, and if you’re eligible, it’s money that belongs to you.

But thousands of people in Connecticut qualify for the EITC and don’t know it.

To claim your money and get what you’re owed:

Filing won’t hurt you

Filing won’t hurt your eligibility for things like SNAP, WIC, TANF, HUSKY, Medicaid, or CHIP.

Even if you don’t file taxes

You can still claim this benefit, even if you aren’t required to file taxes or don’t normally file them.

Credit you deserve

If you’re eligible, the Earned Income Tax Credit is a benefit that belongs to you.
