What Does The EITC Mean To You?

Quite simply...More CASH in your pocket!  Tax benefits are directly related to eligibility guidelines.

Why is the EITC important to businesses?

  • The EITC helps supplement employees wages at no cost to employers.

  • Approximately 2/3 of EITC recipients spend a bulk of their refunds on immediate expenses.

  • Since tax credits help workers take care of daily needs, it provides a boost to the Erie economy.

  • EITC dollars stimulate the local economy through a "multiplier" effect of between 1.5 TO 2 times the original amount of the credit.

Ways your business can support the EITC:

  • Insert an EITC stuffer into bills or other notices mailed to customers.

  • Talk to your employees about the EITC.

  • Include an EITC stuffer with paychecks.

  • Put up EITC posters in your store, shop, lunch room and bulletin boards.

  • Volunteer to be a tax preparer or for your business to be a site for tax preparation.
