Eligible?
One in five low to moderate earners eligible to receive a check from the U.S. Treasury aren’t aware that they need to take action now to claim a credit called the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC).
Why are people missing this opportunity to receive extra money? I don’t have the answer, but I’ll guess it may be a lack of awareness — not only about the availability of the credit, but also that a tax return needs to be filed (even if income is below filing requirements) to claim the payment. If you qualify, the EITC is payable to you even if you owe no taxes; it’s not just a credit against taxes.
