We invite community organizations, elected officials, state and local governments, schools, employers, and others in a national grassroots effort to spotlight the Earned Income Tax Credit on EITC Awareness Day. This year marks the 15th anniversary of EITC Awareness Day – scheduled for Friday, January 29, 2021 – and we invite you to join us on this day.
EITC Awareness Day is a joint venture between the IRS and its many partners and stakeholders. Intensive media coverage helps us reach the broadest possible range of eligible taxpayers, including the underserved populations and the newly eligible taxpayers.
EITC can increase a federal tax refund from $1 to $6,660 for qualified taxpayers. IRS estimates four of five, or 80%, of eligible taxpayers claim and get this important credit. Help us ensure the remaining 20% receive the EITC they earned. EITC is a financial boost for working people and our local economy.
To make the 2021 EITC Awareness Day as successful as possible, please join us on social media and help get the word out about EITC through Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or other social media channels.
