You can help promote the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) by using your communication network so more eligible people receive it, bringing more dollars into your community. A tax credit is a dollar-for-dollar reduction of taxes owed. EITC is a refundable credit, meaning workers can reduce their tax to zero and then receive a refund of any remaining credit.

Your organization can sponsor Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) sites in your community to prepare tax returns for those who cannot prepare their own and cannot afford professional help.

Find out how you can get involved in your community and increase EITC Awareness. Contact your IRS relationship manager or e-mail us at partner@irs.gov.

EITC Awareness Day – January 29, 2010

Charitable organizations, elected officials, state and local governments, employers and other interested parties responded en masse to a national grassroots effort bringing attention to this important tax credit. EITC Awareness Day, January 29, 2010 was a bustle of activity. Read more about EITC Awareness Day 2010 on EITC Central's Partner Toolkit (note you leave irs.gov to visit EITC Central).

EITC has been making the lives of working people a little easier for 35 years. Yet one in four eligible taxpayers misses out because they don’t check it out.
