Earned Income Tax Credit

If you’re a worker or parent in Illinois, filing your taxes this year can put hundreds– even up to $650– back in your pocket.

Thanks to recent legislation passed, Illinois has DOUBLED the Child Tax Credit and expanded the Earned Income Credit, making these benefits available to more families. These credits come back to you as cash that can help you cover everyday expenses like groceries, rent, utility bills, childcare, and school supplies.

But there’s an important catch: you must file a return to receive these credits. Even if you earned little or no income last year, you may still qualify, so make sure to file a return!

Free and low-cost tax help is available across Illinois to help families file securely and claim every dollar they’re eligible for. Go to MyTaxIllinois.gov to learn more and start filing today.

This tax season, take a few minutes to file your return and make sure you don’t miss out on the support your family has earned!
