Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) - The EITC is a special tax benefit for people who work. If you qualify, you will owe less in taxes, and you may get cash back. Even if you do not owe income tax, you can get the credit - but you must file a federal tax return.
The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) Statewide Initiative is made up of organizations and state agencies which are dedicated to the mission of supporting work and reducing poverty for low to moderate income individuals and families through means that maximize the value of all income tax credit refunds, the promotion of asset building and financial security. You can learn more about the EITC at www.michiganeic.org.
