The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) makes available to U.S. taxpayers tax credits and deductions as long as they meet their tax obligations in a timely manner.
One of the country’s most claimed credits is the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC, according to its English name Earned Income Tax Credit), which aims to provide relief to middle- and low-income workers with and without children.
