How do I know if I’m eligible for the EITC? 
When filing taxes for 2017 (due in April 2018), working families with children that have annual incomes below $54,000 may be eligible for the federal EITC. Individuals making below $14,820 and married couples without children making below $20,330 may also be eligible for the federal EITC. 

What is the Child Tax Credit (CTC)? 
A federal tax credit of up to $1,000 per qualifying child. 

How do I know if I’m eligible for the CTC?
