A reply to this letter could be money in your pocket
Check your mailbox. If you are one of the 13,000 New York City residents to receive a letter from the Department of Finance about the 2021 Earned Income Tax Credit, reply immediately. You may be eligible to receive additional refunds of up to $6,728 from IRS.
The Department of Finance is alerting taxpayers who appear to qualify for but didn't claim the EITC on their 2021 federal returns. The letter includes instructions, all necessary forms, and information on how to get help. You must reply and provide all the requested information to receive the EITC. But hurry you only have to April 15, 2025, to claim it.
If IRS and the state verify you are eligible, they will send you a check. All you must do is reply to the letter...it could make your life a little easier.
