I am older than 65

Many older adults need or want to keep working. If you are working after age 65 and you earned $30,950 or less, you may be eligible for the EITC!

The refundable tax credit amount you can get depends on your income and household size.

Individuals can get up to $285 from the EITC and up to $600 from the federal EITC.
If you have one child, you can get up to $1,900 from the EITC and up to $3,995 from the federal EITC. Larger families qualify for more.
If you have a child younger than 6 years old, you can get up to an additional $1,117 from the Child Tax Credit, and you can receive up to $2,000 per child from the federal Child Tax Credit (or less if you have received monthly Child Tax Credit payments).
