Over the past decade, our union has secured millions of dollars for low-income members, under the Federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). Tens of thousands of 1199SEIU members qualify for EITC every year. If your 2013 income was under $49,000, you may qualify for an EITC rebate of hundreds-or even thousands-of dollars. This year alone, WNYers have received a total over $250,000 in federal and state tax returns through the 1199SEIU Earned Income Tax Program.



April 15th is quickly approaching and 1199ers and their families are taking advantage of the 1199 free tax prep program. The 1199SEIU Earned Income Tax Program will prepare your taxes and e-file them all FREE of charge. If you have a return due to you, it will be back in about 20 days.



"The staff is friendly and professional. I don't know why anyone who qualifies would go anywhere else. I come to the union every year, and am pleased with the service I receive," says Mr. and Mrs. Thomas White, both are employees of Kaleida Health.



"As a 1199 retiree, this free tax prep really helps me. I'm on a fixed income, so I don't money to just waste" Ina Ferguson said.
