Your household may qualify for a bigger refund with an Earned Income Tax Credit.

The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is a federal tax credit for working people with low to moderate income. To qualify, you must meet certain requirements and file a tax return, even if you do not owe any tax or are not required to file.

One in five taxpayers who qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit will not claim it, often because they don’t know it exists. Learn more on the EITC Outreach website. If you need no-cost tax filing help, visit the CASH Oregon website.
