One in five people miss out on the important tax credit – worth up to $6,557 for a family of five

JERSEY CITY, NJ, January 31, 2020 – A recent Jackson Hewitt Tax Service® survey, conducted by Dynata, shows that 44% of respondents who make less than $40,000 are not even aware of one of the biggest tax credits available to hard-working taxpayers, the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), and 37% of total respondents were unsure if they were eligible to claim it.

To better educate those who are eligible to claim the EITC, Jackson Hewitt is participating in the 14th annual EITC Awareness Day on January 31. At Jackson Hewitt locations nationwide, local Tax Pros will advise their clients on the credit to ensure they get the biggest tax refund available to them.
