EITC Awareness Day: Claiming your tax credit is now even easier with Valet VITA!

Save for a Rainy Day? National EITC Awareness DayYou work. Let EITC work for you!

For the last 40 years, the Earned Income Tax Credit has made life better for millions of workers. You may have extra money waiting for you. If you qualify and claim the credit, it could be worth $6,143 from the IRS for some workers.

Don’t be the one in five who misses this credit. If you or someone you know earned less than $52,427 from wages, running a business or farm, or from Form 1099 Misc, check it out.

If your family received less than $40,000 in income this year ($20,000 for a single person), you may be eligible for our free tax preparation service to help you claim this credit.*

Kingsley Valet VITA Tax Clinic flyerDon’t have time for that 1-2 hour appointment at one of our four free Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) sites? Or are those hours and locations just not convenient? You can now drop off your tax documents at our new IRS-certified Valet VITA site at the Kingsley Association in East Liberty on a Monday and pick them up completed that Thursday!

That’s just two free and easy 15-minute appointments. Call 2-1-1 or 888-553-5778 to make an appointment. And no, you don’t need to qualify for the EITC to qualify for our free tax help. But either way, we’ll help make sure you get the biggest refund possible!

Not sure if you quality for the EITC?

We can help you determine that at an appointment with our tax assistance program. But it’s easy to find out on your own. Use the EITC Assistant and answer questions about yourself and other family members to see if you qualify and estimate the amount of your credit.

EITC eligibility depends on several factors, including income and family size. If you don’t have a qualifying child and earned under $20,000, find out if you qualify for a smaller credit, worth as much as $496.

*Anyone who has an income of less than $58,000 can use the My Free Taxes website to prepare their own federal and state taxes for free: www.myfreetaxes.com/uwac.
