The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). Even though you apply every year, you find yourself looking it up anew each time.

The 'EITC Guide' is a reference information app designed to help you immediately answer questions such as whether the criteria have changed this year, how much you are eligible to receive, and by when you must apply to receive the benefit without any reduction.

■ Useful for:

Those who are new to the EITC and unsure if they are eligible

Those who received it last year and want to check if the criteria have changed this year

Those confused about the difference between late applications and regular applications

Those wondering if they can receive it together with the Child Tax Credit

Those who want to keep a record of how much they have received so far

■ Key Features

● Eligibility Self-Diagnosis Calculator

By entering your household type (single, single-income, or dual-income) along with your income and assets, you can immediately check your estimated benefit amount in three steps. The 50% reduction based on asset brackets is also automatically reflected.

** ● Automatic Household Type Identifier

By selecting your spouse status, income status, and dependents in order, the system automatically identifies your household type as single, single-income, or dual-income. You can also check eligibility criteria, such as whether you are in a professional occupation.

● Integrated Child Tax Credit Calculator

Calculate the Age Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit together on a single screen. By entering the number of children, income, and assets, it provides an estimated combined total for both benefits and guides you through precautions regarding the overlapping application of child tax credits.

● Step-by-Step Application Guide

Compare the differences between regular, semi-annual, and late applications at a glance. It also guides you step-by-step through three application methods: Hometax (PC), Sontax (App), and ARS phone. The process, which is easy to miss, is organized sequentially, covering everything from required documents and result inquiries to appeal procedures.

● Annual Receipt History Log

You can record your annual receipt amounts and household type to check your cumulative receipts, highest receipts, and year-over-year changes at a glance. Data is stored only within your device's browser and is not transmitted externally.
