(Separate Website)
Many people will file a 2006 Federal income tax return even though the income on the return was below the filing requirement. The questions below will help you determine if you need to file a Federal Income Tax return or if you need to stop your withholding so you will not have to file an unnecessary return in the future.
Even if you do not have to file a return, you should file one to get a refund of any Federal Income Tax withheld. By: Internal Revenue Service
Earned Income Tax Credit for Individuals
(Separate Website)
If you're like millions of Americans, you work hard, but you don't earn a high income, and want to keep more of what you earn. The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is a credit for people who earn low-to-moderate incomes, EITC can reduce your taxes, and can mean a refund. In simple terms, working families and individuals may keep more of what they work for.
