WHAT – What is a qualifying child for the Working Families Tax Credit (WFTC)?
- The rules for qualifying children are based on the federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). These rules involve the child’s age, relationship, and residency.
- View the qualifying child rules at Qualifying Child Rules | Internal Revenue Service (irs.gov).
- Under Washington’s credit, a qualifying child can have a valid Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN).
If you have questions about eligibility or need help applying for the WFTC, reach out to us by phone, text or email today! If you visit one of our Volunteer Income Tax Assistance events, and we prepare your federal tax return and you are eligible for the WFTC, we will electronically file your WFTC application to the state of Washington. Or we can help you fill out a WFTC paper application if you have your completed tax return, but you have not yet applied for the WFTC. In partnership with the Washington State Department of Revenue, we are here to help you.
