How can my organization promote the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)?
Your organization can help promote the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) by using its communication network so that more eligible people receive it, bringing more dollars into your community. A tax credit is a dollar-for-dollar reduction of taxes owed. Some credits are refundable - taxes could be reduced to the point that an individual would receive a refund rather than owing any taxes.
Your organization can also sponsor a Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) site in your community to prepare tax returns for those who cannot prepare their own and cannot afford professional help.
