As an employer, it is your responsibility to share information about the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) with anyone who works for you in Philadelphia. The policy is part of the City’s regulations.
You can print an EITC flyer and distribute it along with W-2, 1099 or similar forms. Place it in paycheck envelopes, or email electronic copies.
EITC is a federal tax credit that puts money back in the pockets of low- to moderate-income workers. Families or individuals can get EITC by filing their federal tax return. The funds come in the form of a check from the government.
When Philadelphia workers claim EITC, it’s good for everyone.
- The average refund is $2,500, money that can make a big difference for an individual or family.
- Thousands of refunds add up to millions of dollars spent in local businesses.
- Stronger businesses attract new investments and create more jobs in Philadelphia.
Passing out a one-page flyer may seem unimportant. It’s not.
Letting your employees know about EITC is the law, and it’s also good business. For you, for your workers, and for all Philadelphians.
