Are you eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)? Each year, roughly 1 in 5 eligible taxpayers don’t claim this credit. To raise awareness, the IRS has launched the annual EITC Awareness campaign. The EITC helps low- and moderate-income working individuals and families and can increase your tax refund. Eligibility depends on income, filing status and the number of qualifying children, though low-income workers without children may also qualify. The average EITC for tax year 2024 was $2,916. To claim the EITC, you must file a tax return. Most refunds to early filers claiming the EITC are expected to be paid by March 2, 2026.
