Welcome and thank you for taking a moment to find out more about how you might qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC).
The Earned Income Tax Credit is currently a tax credit for working families. It equates to an average of nearly $2,500 for households that qualify and is based on the number of children and total household income.
The credit, however is NOT currently available to the following individuals:
- Single adults without children
- Non-custodial parents
- Working citizens ages 21-24
If you fall into one of the categories listed above, an expansion of the Earned Income Tax Credit could benefit you. We are working to expand the credit to include the hard working citizens of South Carolina who don’t currently benefit from the credit. If considered and implemented, it could mean as much as $500 or more on your tax return.
