The federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or Earned Income Credit (EIC) is a refundable tax credit available to some working individuals and families who earn less than $38,000. This credit currently does more to bring working families out of poverty than any other government program. An estimated four million families were lifted above the poverty level because of the EITC program in 2004.
