Earned Income Tax Credit Advance
Do you know that you can receive your Earned Income Credit every month in your paycheck instead of having to wait for your refund at tax time?  It's not taxable so, you will clear about $100 extra each month.  All you have to do is file Form W-5 with your employer each year.  It's a very simple four-line, mostly Yes/No type form.  Click here to go to the IRS website and print out Form W-5.  Type Form W-5 into the "Search Forms and Publications for" box.  

Click here and enter Publ 596 in the "Search Forms and Publications for" box, if you need more information on the Earned Income Tax Credit, including the qualification requirements.
