Our School Readiness Team for our Early Head
Start and First Things First programs has recently
published our first year outcome study. We
learned a great deal from this first year and have
implemented several changes in the areas of
parent awareness, staff
development, assessment
tools, and curriculum. You can find the entire report on our website:
Just click on the Info tab. Please let us know if you would prefer
a hard copy. Also, if you would like to join our school readiness
committee, call Debbie (435) 673-5353 x101.
You could be eligible to get more money back from the IRS – as much as $5,891 . If you earned less than $41,952* ($47,162 married filing jointly) with 2 qualifying children, from wages, self-employment or farming last year, you may qualify for a refundable tax credit called the Earned Income Tax Credit, or EITC. But you must file a federal income tax return claiming the credit to get it. * Amount varies by family size. See chart below. EITC can be a big financial boost for working people hit by hard economic times. Many individuals who
saw their incomes drop in 2010 may qualify for the first time. Unlike other tax credits, both EITC eligibility
and the amount of the credit is based on several factors such as the source and amount of your income,
or combined incomes if married, whether you have qualifying children and how many. Workers without
children also may qualify.
The amount of the credit peaks then phases out at certain income limitations depending on filing sta-
tus and other factors. You may qualify for EITC even if you had no federal tax withheld or are not other-
wise required to file.
The online EITC Assistant at www.irs.gov/eitc can help determine your eligibility and estimate the
amount of your credit. Free help preparing your return and claiming EITC is available at volunteer income
tax assistance sites and IRS Taxpayer Assistance Centers. To locate a volunteer site, call 211 or call the IRS
at 1-800-906-9887.
Remember: if you are eligible, you must file a federal income tax return, even if you are not otherwise
required to file, and you must specifically claim the credit to get it. Find more information about EITC at
www.irs.gov or in your tax software package.
2012 Tax Year
Earned Income and adjusted gross income (AGI) must each be less than:
$45,060 ($50,270 married filing jointly) with 3 or more qualifying chil-
dren
$41,952 ($47,162 married filing jointly) with 2
qualifying children;
$36,920 ($42,130 married filing jointly) with 1
qualifying child; or
$13,980 ($19,190 married filing jointly) with no
qualifying children
