Supporting the designation of January 31, 2025, as "Earned Income Tax Credit Awareness Day".

This resolution supports making January 31, 2025 “Earned Income Tax Credit Awareness Day.” It encourages spreading the word about the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), other refundable federal tax credits, and free tax filing help so more people can claim money they’ve earned and get free assistance filing their taxes .

• It does not change tax law or create new programs. It’s a public push to increase awareness of existing credits and free filing services so eligible workers don’t miss out .

Key points:

• Who is affected: Workers and families who may qualify for the EITC and other refundable credits, and people who need free tax filing help .
• What changes: A national awareness day to promote these credits and free assistance; no new benefits or requirements are created .
• When: January 31, 2025, is recognized for awareness activities .
