You may also qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), a refundable federal tax credit that can increase the effective wage of qualifying workers by up to $2/hour. This year tax payers may qualify for up to $5,600!
The Earn It. Keep It. Save It. Campaign is a public-private partnership working to improve the financial stability of Utah families through use of the federal EITC and free tax preparation programs including Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA). Over the last several years the Legislature has appropriated a minimum of $100,000 to support this effort. An investment of just over $600,000 over the past three years to EITC outreach and VITA efforts has yielded over $54 million in total tax credits returned to our state.
