Illinois State University employees may be eligible for the federal Earned Income Tax Credit. The credit helps low- to moderate-income workers receive a tax break which results in a reduction of taxes owed or a refund. To receive the credit, individuals must meet eligibility requirements and file a tax return.

Additional information including a calculator to check eligibility can be found on the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) website or by contacting the IRS at (800) 829-1040.
