Challenge:
The Earned Income Tax Credit can support a low-wage worker’s financial security but many are unaware of it or unsure how to apply.
Strategies:
Direct your workers to free tax preparation services via the NC Department of Revenue’s NCFreeFile page, which lists free resources and eligibility requirements:
- NCDOR: eFile Information: NCfreefile and eFile for a fee
- Consider offering tax preparation help by inviting tax prep professionals to conduct workshops or consult with your workers on-site.
