What is the Earned Income
Tax Credit? The EITC is often called the largest
anti-poverty program in the nation, because a working low-to-moderate income family that qualifies for EITC can receive a
tax refund of up to $5,751 in a given year—a significant amount of additional income if you live at or below poverty
level. However, millions of dollars of this tax credit typically go
unclaimed every year; estimates range from $8 to 12 million unclaimed locally each year. Find out more.
