Dear Friends –

The Earned Income Tax Credit is available to low- to moderate-income working Americans. Through my work on the Ways and Means Committee, we expanded this tax credit to include working-seniors and young adults for the first time and increased the credit amount for childless workers. Workers can receive up to $6,728 by claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit on their 2021 tax return. For more information on qualification and the amount you may qualify for, see here. 

I’m working to continue to this expansion of the tax credit. Have you benefitted from the Earned Income Tax Credit? If so, please share your story here.

To learn more about the Earned Income Tax Credit, please visit the Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS) website here.  

Best wishes,
