What is Earned Income Tax Credit?

The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) in Pennsylvania is a state tax benefit designed to help low to moderate-income working individuals and families. This credit reduces the amount of tax owed and may even result in a refund. It's based on income and family size, and aims to encourage work and reduce poverty. To qualify, you must meet certain income requirements and file a federal tax return, even if you don't owe any tax.
