EITC Updates: Have You Heard?

Unlike winter, fall, spring and summer, tax season somehow doesn’t elicit the same emotions. Somehow curling up on the couch with a W2 just doesn’t seem relaxing. Nonetheless, Orange County United Way is doing its part to make tax season a little more rewarding for many families and individuals.

Once again, we have teamed up with 22 of our community partners to offer more than 51 free tax preparation days for those families and individuals who may qualify to receive the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). If your household income was less than $42,000 in 2008, you may qualify for the EITC and could get up to $4,824 of your hard-earned dollars back.

Did You KNOW?

  • The 2009 campaign launched on Saturday, January 24 and to-date, 1238 families and individuals have accessed the free web-based module and have returned over $774,000 in Earned Income Tax Credits.
  • Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez attended a free tax preparation site at the Delhi Community Center in Santa Ana on Saturday, March 14th.
  •  There are many more free tax days left – so don’t miss out! If you’re interested in volunteering at any of our tax sites, please contact Liz Lopez at (949) 477-4523. img_2109
