Get cash back when you file your taxes.
You do not need to make much money to get cash back when you file your taxes. Tax credits like the Family Affordability Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit, Earned Income Tax Credit, and others put more money back in your pocket that can be used to help pay for the things you need, like groceries, child care, rent, or car repairs. All you have to do is file a state and federal tax return to get your credits.
