Get What You Deserve!
The Earned Income Credit is a refundable credit that is offered to individuals and families that have lower income. This can help lower income families tremendously. In previous filing years this credit has been maxed out at two dependents but for 2012 it has been temporarily increased to accommodate larger families that have three or more dependents.
How Much Will You Get?
This credit can offer quite a bit of a credit meaning that your family could receive up to $5,891.00! That’s a lot of money that I’m sure you could use. Even as an individual with no dependents you could still receive an extra $475.00.
You can calculate your credit amount for free. All of these amounts will vary depending on your income and the number of qualifying dependents you have but even at the least this is some money you don’t want to miss out on
