    Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) Program

    As an organization or agency serving low-income families in New Jersey, you can help the people you serve have more available cash by promoting the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) program.

    What is EITC?

    It is a special federal and state tax benefit for low-income working families and individuals that may:

    • Increase the tax refund to be received,
    • Decrease the amount of taxes owed, or
    • Provide a refund even if taxes are not owed.
    • To learn more about EITC, click here.

     

    If you worked full or part time in 2024 and earned less than $66,819, you may qualify to receive an Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) of up to $7,830 on your federal taxes and up to $3,132 on your New Jersey state taxes. For more information, call the Internal Revenue Service at 1-800-829-1040 or the New Jersey Division of Taxation at 1-888-895-9179. You can also visit irs.gov/eitc or njeitc.org. To learn how to file your taxes free of charge, call New Jersey’s hotline at 211 or visit nj211.org.

    How Can You Promote EITC?

    • Forward this web page to all your partnering agencies.
    • Use the EITC Marketing Toolkit.
    • Talk to your clients about the program.
    • Provide your clients with free tax preparation information. New Jersey individuals and families whose 2024 earnings were lower than $65,000 can get their taxes prepared free of charge. To find out where you can get free help filing your taxes, call the NJ Community Resource Hotline at 211 or 1-877-652-1148; or if you make $65,000 or less, you can prepare your own taxes for FREE by visiting myfreetaxes.com. It’s easy. It’s safe. It’s free.
