State and federal tax credits

The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is a way for low-income working people to get money back from the federal government. Even if you didn't earn enough to owe income tax, you can get the EITC! To get it, you need to file a federal tax return and send it to the IRS.

Massachusetts also has an Earned Income Credit (EIC), to help low-income working people get money back from the state government. To get the credit, you need to file a state tax return and send it to the Massachusetts Department of Revenue.

Massachusetts also has a Child and Family Tax Credit. You can get up to $440 per eligible child or adult even if you had no or low income in 2024 and do not have to file state taxes.

You may be able to get money back from both the federal and state governments by filing your taxes and claiming these credits.
