The purpose of this letter is to inform local social services districts of the changes in the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the availability of other tax credits for this year. In addition, we are requesting that local district staff reach out to their clients and other low-income households to encourage them to file for these various tax credit benefits. Attached are EITC outreach materials that may be provided to these households and to community agencies (see Attachments I and II for English and Spanish versions of a flyer and an envelope stuffer). Attachment III contains the Tax Year 2006 federal benefit chart.
