 TITLE: What Is the Earned Income Tax Credit? CONTENT: The IRS reports that roughly 20% of eligible taxpayers don't claim the EITC. But if you qualify, it's worth pursuing. Whether it merely reduces your tax bill or secures you a refund, the EITC represents hundreds or thousands of dollars in available relief.\nAre you confused about whether or not you're eligible? Many online tax programs include EITC calculations to help you puzzle this out. The IRS also offers an online EITC Assistant and live volunteer help through its Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) or Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) sites. END
