Is Someone You Know Missing
an Important Tax Credit?
Each year at this time, the IRS and Maine Department of Human Services report that hundreds of working Mainers overlook taking the Earned Income Credit when they file their tax return. Thousands of dollars go unclaimed each year.
This credit, which favors low income earners, can put extra money in their pockets! Low earners with children can earn the highest credits.
If you know anyone among your friends, relatives, neighbors or care givers who might like to know about this, please suggest they call the IRS (1-800-829-1040) or 211 for more information about free tax help locations in your area. You can also suggest that they search on-line at www.aarp.org/Taxaide for free tax payer assistance near you.
