Earned   Income   Tax   Credit   (EIC)
 
If 
you make $49,000*  or less, 
your employer should notify you  at the  time  of 
hiring  of the  potential availability  of Earned
 
Income Tax Credits  or Advance Earned Income 
Credits. Earned Income Tax Credits are 

reductions  in federal income tax liability  for which
 

you may  be eligible  if you meet certain
 
requirements. Additional information  and forms 

for  these  programs can  be obtained from your
 
employer or  the Internal Revenue Service.

Effective   December   31,   2010,   Advanced	
 
Federal   Earned   Income   Tax   Credit	
 
(AEITC)   became   unavailable   to   workers .  
The   Education   Jobs   and   Medicaid   Assistance   Act   of	
 
2010   signed   into   law   August   10,   2010   repealed   the
 
Advance   EITC.   It   will   not   be   available   to   workers	
 
after   December   31,   2010.  
Individuals   who   received   Advance   EITC   in   any   prior   tax	
 
year   should   have   filed   a   tax   return   to   report   the   payments
 
even   if   they   owed   no   tax   or   did   not   get   a   refund.  
Advance   EITC,   also   known   as   AEITC,   allowed   certain	
 
workers   to   receive   EITC   in   installments   throughout   the
 
year,   instead   of   a   lump   sum   during   the   following   filing
 
season.   To   qualify   for   Advance   EITC,   an   individual   must	
 
have   had   at   least   one   qualifying   child.   The   amount   of	
 
Advance   EITC   was   limited   to   60   percent   of   the   maximum	
 
credit   payable   for   a   worker   with   one   qualifying   child.
