If you live in Washington and Alaska, get ready because you may be able to cash a stimulus check. In the case of Washington, it has to do with a Tax Credit for families.
So, hurry up because the deadline is coming soon. The last day to file for the Washington Working Families Tax Credit will be December 31, 2023. This stimulus check can give you 1,200 dollars if eligible.
However, not everyone qualifies for the largest amount, and families of 1 can get up to $300. Undoubtedly, your income and the number of children you have will reduce or increase your stimulus check.
HOW CAN I KNOW IF I QUALIFY FOR THE WASHINGTON TAX CREDIT FOR WORKING FAMILIES?
The Department of Revenue in Washington offers the possibility to answer a few questions to find out. First, they will ask you about your residency. If you did not live in Washington for at least 183 days in 2022, you do not qualify.
The second thing the Department of Revenue will ask you will be about the Federal Income Tax Return in 2022. If you did not file a return for 2022, you will not be eligible for this stimulus check.
Apart from that your filing status will be important too. Select the single, married filing jointly or separately, etc. to go on with the quick interview. Then tick the box with the number of children you have.
Remember that your income matters, so they will ask you if your income is less than the corresponding amount for your family size. Finally, there will be age, dependent, and three final questions. Visit https://secure.dor.wa.gov/gteunauth/_/ to check eligibility.
