Volunteers Needed to Help with Earned Income Tax Credit
Program
Again
this year,
United
Way is joining the Lucas County Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)
Coalition in the effort to help working families take
advantage of the EITC program.
EITC is
a tax benefit for people who earn low or moderate incomes.
The refundable credit can put money back into the hands of
families and individuals who qualify and apply for it.
However,
in order to assist families in applying for EITC,
United
Way is in need of volunteers
with basic math and computer skills. People interested in
volunteering are required to attend a brief training,
monitored by the IRS, and are then certified to help with
free tax preparation at various locations within the county.
Trainings are available online or by attending a class
(weekday, weeknight and weekend options available).
To sign
up for one of the trainings or to learn more call United Way
2-1-1 by simply dialing 2-1-1 or visit
www.unitedwaytoledo.org/EITC.
