Earned Income Tax Credit

[Carolyn Branagan]

Income tax time is nearly here. Keep in mind that Vermonters with incomes under $50,000 can qualify for as much as $5,800 as a credit or refund on income tax. It's called the Earned Income Tax Credit, and is available at the federal and state level. To find out if you qualify call the Internal Revenue Service at 1-800-829-1040 or go to www.irs.gov. You can also call 2-1-1 from anywhere in Vermont to make a free appointment with a certified tax preparer.
If you qualify for the EITC you may also be able to receive the 3SquaresVT, a great program which helps with food costs. Some households can get free school meals too. For more information or to see if you qualify, call 1-800-479-6151. Or if you prefer, you can contact me at cbranagan@leg.state.vt.us
