Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is a special tax benefit for hard working people who earn low and moderate incomes.  Child Tax Credit is a federal tax credit worth up to $1,000 for each child under 17 claimed as a dependent on the worker's tax return.  These are refunds, meaning families and individuals can get the money if they qualify, even if they owe no income tax. Find out more about it in a two-page flyer here and/or click on the following links:
