Qualifying individuals receive a cash payment (via direct deposit or paper check) after filing their taxes. The IRS starts sending refunds in mid-February. By law, the IRS is not allowed to send EITC refunds during the first few weeks of tax season.\r\n\r\nIn addition to the EITC credit from the federal government, Michigan now offers an expanded state EITC credit. This means more money in your pocket if you qualify!\r\n\r\nTo claim your credit, you must file a tax return, even if you do not owe any tax or are not otherwise required to file. If you worked full or part time in 2025, you may qualify for the credit.\r\n

\u00bfQUI\u00c9N CUMPLE LOS REQUISITOS?<\/h3>\r\nDebe haber tenido ingresos por trabajo en 2025 para poder optar a esta ayuda. Si tiene algunos ingresos por trabajo, puede optar a ella aunque reciba otras prestaciones. Los detalles var\u00edan en funci\u00f3n de su situaci\u00f3n fiscal y del n\u00famero de hijos que tenga en su hogar. Todos los adultos y ni\u00f1os que figuren en su declaraci\u00f3n de impuestos deben tener un n\u00famero de la Seguridad Social para que su hogar pueda optar a esta ayuda.\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\nLos hijos que re\u00fanen los requisitos pueden ser sus hijos biol\u00f3gicos, hijos adoptivos, nietos, hermanos menores y sobrinos. Para reunir los requisitos, los hijos deben vivir con usted al menos la mitad del a\u00f1o y ser menores de 19 a\u00f1os, menores de 24 a\u00f1os y estudiantes de tiempo completo, o tener una discapacidad permanente.\r\n

\u00bfQU\u00c9 HA CAMBIADO EN EL EITC DE MICHIGAN?<\/h3>\r\nIn 2023, changes to Michigan law increased the amount of the Michigan Earned Income Tax Credit for Working Families (also known as the Michigan EITC or the Working Families Tax Credit). The Michigan EITC uses the same eligibility criteria as the federal EITC. The amount of the Michigan credit is calculated as a percentage of the amount the family or individual receives from the federal EITC.\r\n\r\nPreviously, the Michigan EITC was calculated as 6% of the federal EITC. For example, if a family qualified for a $3000 federal EITC refund, they received an additional $180 ($3,000 x 6%) from the state of Michigan when filing their state taxes.\r\n\r\nUnder the law, the Michigan credit is 30% of the federal credit. In the same example, a family qualifying for a $3,000 federal EITC refund receives an additional $900 ($3,000 x 30%) from the state of Michigan.\r\n

\u00bfC\u00d3MO PUEDO SOLICITAR EL EITC AMPLIADO DE MICHIGAN ESTE A\u00d1O?<\/h3>\r\nWhen you file your taxes in 2026, the Michigan EITC will be automatically calculated at the new amount and included in your regular refund. You do not need to take any special action, but you do need to file taxes in 2026. We can help! It's not too late!
