GOVERNOR J-B PRITZKER IS REMINDING LOW-INCOME TAXPAYERS TO SEE IF THEY’RE ELIGIBLE FOR THE EARNED INCOME TAX CREDIT. 

IT’S RECOMMENDED THAT WORKERS EARNING 54 THOUSAND DOLLARS OR LESS FAMILIARIZE THEMSELVES WITH THE E-I-T-C. ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE SPOKESPERSON TERRY HORSTMAN SAYS PEOPLE OFTEN MISS OUT ON THE CREDIT.

TAXPAYERS HAVE TO MEET CERTAIN INCOME AND RESIDENCY QUALIFICATIONS, AND HAVE TO FILE A TAX RETURN, EVEN IF THEY DON’T OWE OR ARE UNDER THE USUAL THRESHOLD FOR FILING.
