DelCoAD: Delaware County
Asset Development
Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)
Did you know?
- The EITC lifts an average of 5 million families above
the poverty line
each year.
- Over 20% of those
families
qualifying for the credit do not apply for it.
- Many more get their taxes done by "Paid Preparers" and get
charged very high fees for very simple services.
- You can get the EITC even if you are single and have no
children.
- Last year, volunteers prepared taxes for over 900 Delaware
County families and helped them claim more than $1.2 million in tax
refunds!
Don't pay for something you can get for free! Get your taxes
done this year at a Volunteer Income Tax Assistance site. To see
