Federal Earned Income Tax Credit

The Federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is a tax credit for low- to moderate- income people who work full or part time. If you qualify, you will owe less in taxes and you may get money back. Even if you do not owe income tax, you can still get the EITC. EITC does not affect public assistance benefits such as Cash Assistance, Food Stamps, AHCCCS, or Housing. See www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/individuals/earned-income-tax-credit-eitc for more information.

The IRS offers free tax help to qualified individuals who are preparing their own tax returns. Eligiblity depends on an individual's income, disability status, and age. See more about the program requirements here, and find a location to receive tax assistance here.
