EITC Awareness

EITC Awareness. Are you Eligible for Tax Credit?

Did you know you may be eligible to get more money back from the IRS?! Families with three children earning less than $53,267 from wages, self-employment, or farming last year may qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) – as much as $6,242. Even workers without children may qualify for the EITC, but anyone who qualifies must file and claim the credit to get it! 

EITC is a financial boost for working people and the local communities. Nationwide, over 27 million people received over $65 billion in EITC for the 2014 tax year. 

Millions of taxpayers will qualify for the first time this year. Due to changes in financial, marital or parental status, the EITC eligible population has a turnover rate of about one-third each year.
To maximize awareness, the IRS is encouraging Congressional offices, governmental agencies and organizations to conduct EITC awareness activities. The goal is to raise EITC awareness to ensure every qualified worker claims and receives their EITC. 

Vet Center Mobile



My name is Thomas Lamb, I am outreach counseling coordinator for the St. George Vet Center. I am a 13 year  veteran still serving in the Army National Guard. What we provide is readjustment counseling for combat veterans and their families and counseling for any Military Sexual Trauma. We travel to Cedar city, Kanab, Richfield,  Beaver, and Mesquite and various other rural cities to provide readjustment counseling, so the veterans are not required to travel to St. George for help. If our St. George facility works for you, we have three full time counselors here. Just call the office number at 435-673-4494 for an appointment. The process to receive counseling through the Vet Center is a lot simpler than the VA Health. All we need to provide service to you is a copy of your DD 214 showing that you served in a combat zone or for Military Sexual Trauma a copy of your DD 214 and you’re in. What is great about the Vet Center is we are separated from the VA and DOD; our counseling is private and our records cannot be accessed unless they have an written authorization or under the privacy act 1975 in a crisis situation.  If this is something that would be of service to you please give us a call. 

What My Schedule Is

I am running back on my normal schedule which is shown below.  Feel free to call me for times when I will be in those certain areas. As of right now no other events are scheduled looking into our options for Veterans Day, so if you would like to request the MVC, please let me know the event and what time. I look forward in working with you, feel free to give me a call or email me for questions or planning events. I am very excited for this opportunity to help out fellow veterans and the community. Outreach is the best way to communicate with our veterans and show them we support and want to give them the help they need and deserve we all need to work together to make it the most effective way possible. Thank you for your time and your support I look forward to hearing from you.  Please let me know any upcoming events I would love to attend and support your organization.
Sincerely,

Thomas Lamb
