How Do I Claim Earned Income Tax Credit?

• File a tax return with the IRS. You can file your return electronically or by paper. If you file electronically, you can usually get your refund faster.
• Use the IRS Free File program. The IRS Free File program is a free online tax preparation service that is available to taxpayers with income below certain limits. You can use the IRS Free File program to file your taxes and claim the EITC.

To claim the EITC on your tax return, you will need to provide the following information:

• Your Social Security number
• The Social Security numbers of your qualifying children
• Your earned income
• Your filing status
• The number of qualifying children you have

You can find more information about the EITC on the IRS website.

Here are some additional tips for claiming the EITC:

• Make sure you have all of the required information before you file your return.
• If you are not sure if you qualify for the EITC, use the IRS EITC Assistant to find out.
• If you are using a tax preparer, make sure they know about the EITC and how to claim it.
• File your tax return as soon as possible after the end of the year. This will help you get your refund faster.
