CARSON CITY, NEVADA-Millions of workers could overlook a special federal tax credit because they don't know about it. As a result, they could miss out on up to $5,751 extra in their federal income tax refunds through the Earned Income Tax Credit, or EITC. Last year, on average, the credit boosted refunds for eligible workers by $2,100.
"This money can make a real difference to workers struggling in this recovering economy" said Michael Salogga, BRIC Manager for the Business Resource Innovation Center.
