Notice 797
(Rev. December 2017)

Possible Federal Tax Refund Due to the
Earned Income Credit (EIC)
What Is the EIC?
The EIC is a refundable tax credit for certain workers.

What Is the Purpose of This Notice?
Your employer sent you this notice to make you aware of an
important federal tax benefit. Even if you had no income tax withheld
from your wages during the year, you may be eligible for the EIC.

How Much Is the EIC?
For 2017, the EIC can be as much as $3,400 if you have one
qualifying child; $5,616 if you have two qualifying children; $6,318 if
you have three or more qualifying children; and $510 if you have no
qualifying children.

How Do You Claim the EIC?
To claim the EIC, you must:
1. Be eligible for the EIC, and
2. File a 2017 tax return (including Schedule EIC if you have
a qualifying child).
To figure out if you are eligible, see Pub. 596 or visit IRS.gov/EITC.
If eligible, you can claim the EIC to get a refund even if you had
no tax withheld from your pay or owe no tax. For example, if you
had no tax withheld in 2017 and owe no tax but are eligible for a
credit of $800, you must file a 2017 income tax return to get the
$800 refund.
Most people qualify for free tax preparation. If you earned less
than $66,000, you can file for free online at IRS.gov/FreeFile. In
addition, IRS-certified volunteers can prepare your return for free
in person if you earned less than $54,000 or are age 60 or older.
To find locations, visit IRS.gov/VITA or call 1-800-906-9887.

More Information
Refer to instructions for the tax return you are filing, Pub. 596, or
IRS.gov/EITC for details on the EIC. You can download IRS forms and
publications at IRS.gov/Forms, and you can get printed copies mailed
to you by going to IRS.gov/OrderForms or by calling 1-800-829-3676.
