Are you working but still not earning enough to make ends meet? You can call 517-483-4550 today to make a
free appointment with a Financial Empowerment Center counselor who can help you learn about ways to increase your income. Below are several ways to get money.
Tax Credits
At the end of the year, the government may owe you money in tax credits. Our partner agency, Asset Independence Coalition, is here to help you make sure you get them all! If your household income is below $57,000, you can prepare your own taxes and e-file them for
free at
My Free Taxes. Or, if you need assistance filing your taxes and your household income is $51,000 or less, call 211 (or 866-561-2500) for an appointment to have them prepared and e-filed at no cost to you. You can file or amend tax returns for the last 3 years - so if you did not file, or feel you may not have received all of the credits you are eligible for, this can be a great way to put a little money back in your pocket! Visit the
Asset Independence Coalition for more information. The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is one of the largest tax credits available to low-to-moderate income households. Learn what you need to know about the EITC in 3 minutes by watching the Earned Income Tax Credit video.
