New Year 2015 is a good time to receive your first PA EITC tax credit award

As tax season begins now is a good time to educate new eligible donors about the process of receiving Pennsylvania EITC tax credit awards.  July 1, 2015 is the only day EITC credits may be available so new donors should apply on that date.  Successful awardees of EITC credits from 2014 can apply May 15, 2015.


PA EITC tax credit information can be obtained on the state website at:

If you scroll down there is a PDF list of every school and charity eligible for donation including contact information.  This list is complete for the 2014/2015 cycle but every organization must reapply beginning May 1, 2015.


New eligible donors may want to start with the less popular PA Opportunity Scholarship tax credit program as tax credit awards should be available on July 1,2015.  Last cycle all applicants for this credit were awarded on July 1, 2014.
