Earned Income Tax Credit for 2019
The 2019 Tax Year Earned Income Tax Credit or EITC is a refundable tax credit aimed at helping families with low to moderate earned income. If you work and have W-2 and/or 1099 income at a certain level, let the EITC work for you! Even though you can no longer e-file 2019 Tax Returns, you complete the 2019 Tax Forms online and mail them to the IRS. Plus, here are more 2019 Calculators and Tools that can help you with your 2019 Returns.
NOTE: You can no longer claim a refund for a 2019 return as this expired on July 17, 2023.
