SAVE $$$ – BROWARD COUNTY EARNED INCOME TAX CREDIT (EITC) OUTREACH PROGRAM

The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is a special tax benefit for people who work full or part-time, whose income is below established government levels. This credit will reduce the amount of taxes owed, resulting in a rebate (or credit) back to your family.

EITC is a reimbursement for low to moderate income wage earners instituted over 30 years ago. In 2002, when studies indicated millions of EITC dollars lay unclaimed because of a lack of awareness, the Children’s Services Council began promoting EITC through county-wide public awareness campaigns in collaboration with community partners.

Your income and family size determine the amount of the credit, as follows:

• Families with children who earned less than $40,000 can get up to $5,657.
• Workers with no children who earn less than $13,440 can get back up to $457.

The EITC can be claimed retroactively back for three (3) year; therefore, this represents a significant tax rebate which can be used to satisfy existing debts, enhance your credit, put a down-payment on a home, etc.

Don’t miss this opportunity to get the $$$ you deserve! This program not only puts money back into the pockets of families, it helps money flow back into Broward’s economy.
