 Claim the Earned Income Tax Credit in 2010 - a message from Governor Gregoire.
The state is urging you to apply for your share of millions in Earned Income Tax Credit money available to eligible families and individuals from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). National “Earned Income Tax Credit Day” is Friday, January 29 designated to help raise awareness of this federal program that goes unused by about 20 to 25 percent of qualified workers who are entitled to receive a check for up to $5, 657. Based on these estimates, as much as $140 to $174 million could go unclaimed by Washington residents eligible for the credit.
Free tax preparation services are available to low and moderate-income families now through April 15. A directory of site locations throughout the state is available by dialing 2-1-1, Washington’s Information Network. Ask for “free tax preparation” and operators will provide free tax site locations and hours in your area.
