Are you planning to claim the federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) when you file? You may also be able to claim a refundable version of the Virginia Earned Income Tax Credit equal to 15% of your federal Earned Income Tax Credit.  

The Earned Income Tax Credit is for low- and moderate-income workers. Your eligibility, and the amount you’re eligible for, depends on a few factors, including:  

  • Your filing status  
  • Your income  
  • How many children you have
