Back to HomeWhat is Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)?
What is it?
The Earned Income Tax Credit is a tax refund for working people. This is money that some low-income taxpayers are eligible to receive regardless of whether they have a tax liability or not.
How do I know if I am eligible for Earned Income Tax Credit? If I am eligible, how do I get it?
BLITC can tell you whether you are eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit. We can also help you file for EITC free of charge and help you get the money you deserve.
I didn't file a tax return, am I still eligible for EIC? How can I get my EITC?
If not too much time has gone by since the tax return was due, you can file a return now and still be eligible for EITC.
I filed my tax return wrong and I have to pay the IRS. What do I do?
BLITC will help you correct tax errors and prepare an amended tax return. We can assist you in applying to pay your taxes, due on an installment plan that works for your circumstances.
