The
Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is a special
tax benefit for low-income working families and individuals.
It may lower the amount of federal and state taxes you owe,
increase your tax refund and also may provide you with a refund,
even if you do not owe any taxes.
To
get the NJ state EITC, you must file a federal tax form, be
eligible for the federal EITC and file a state income tax
return.
