Governor Gretchen Whitmer is urging eligible Michiganders to claim both the federal and state Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), also known as the Working Families Tax Credit, as they file their 2023 individual income tax returns.
By doing so, taxpayers may reduce their federal and state taxes, potentially pay no tax, or even secure a tax refund. Last year, Governor Whitmer signed legislation that quintupled Michigan’s state match of the federal EITC, leading to an average refund increase of over $600.
“The Working Families Tax Credit delivers an average combined refund of $3,150 to 700,000 Michigan families,” Governor Whitmer emphasized. “This credit directly benefits half the kids in Michigan, providing extra financial support for families to cover essential expenses. I encourage every eligible Michigander to take advantage of the credit when filing this year.”
