EITC Information for IRS Partners
You can help promote EITC, Earned Income Tax Credit, by using your communication network so more people that are eligible receive the credit. This brings 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.
Network with other employers, government offices and agencies, social service organizations and other groups in your community who have a vested interest in reaching and educating low income workers about EITC. Find out how you can help…send an email to partner@irs.gov.
