Have you told your employees about the Earned Income Tax Credit?

Have you told your employees about the Earned Income Tax Credit? For more information on your responsibilities for notifying your employees about EITC, sometimes called EIC, see Notice 1015 on irs.gov.

For a sample of information to provide your employer, see Notice 797, Possible Federal Tax Refund Due to the Earned Income Credit, EIC.

Note: Both Notice 1015 and Notice 797 are in Adobe format and you need the Adobe Reader to view. Download the Adobe Reader here free.

 Join others in your local community and nation-wide in making your employees aware of EITC on EITC Awareness Day, 2012.  Find out more on our Awareness Day. Find more EITC Awareness Day information here.

 Change in Advance EITC or AEITC.

The Education Jobs and Medicaid Assistance Act of 2010 repealed the Advance EITC or AEITC. It was not available to workers after December 31, 2010. Workers who received the payments in their paychecks during 2010 or 2009 need to file a tax return to claim the amount paid if they have not already reported.
