Help Spread the News to Co-Workers, Family and Friends  They May Be Eligible For Extra Tax Credits! 

Don’t miss your chance this year to earn an extra tax refund up to $5,657. The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) puts money back in to the hands of low and moderate families and individuals.

If you qualify, the money is easy to claim.
Free tax preparation sites throughout the region are ready to help. Many families use the extra dollars to reduce debt, learn new job skills, increase savings or build financial stability in other ways.

What is the Prosperity Campaign of Central Florida?

United Way's Prosperity Campaign of Central Florida promotes financial stability for local families. One key way of doing this is through the EITC tax benefit, which is credited with lifting more children out of poverty than any other federal program. At a time when many families are struggling to make ends meet, the EITC dollars can be used to reduce debt, improve job skills, build savings or take other steps to improve financial stability, which is one of United Way's Investing in Results focus areas.
