Virginia - EITC & CLI

Virginia - EITC & CLI

Virginia employers are required to post both the EITC and CLI notices. The EITC or Earned Income Tax Credit is a tax credit program designed to benefit low income working families. For the 2017 tax year, employees who earn less than $53,930 and have a qualifying child, as well as employees who earn less than $20,600 and have no qualifying children, may be eligible for the federal EITC. Research shows that often these tax benefits go unclaimed. For this reason, employers in Virginia are required to inform employees of their potential eligibility.

In addition to the EITC notice, Virginia employers are also required to post the CLI notice which describes the Virginia State tax credits. The 2018 version has been reformatted with revised wording and graphics including an updated web address for the Virginia tax website and phone numbers. To qualify, the total family Virginia adjusted gross income must be below federal poverty guidelines. Family Virginia adjusted gross income includes the total Virginia adjusted gross income for the individual, the spouse, and dependents, even if they do not file their own Virginia returns. The maximum credit that may be claimed is $300 for each personal and dependent exemption claimed on ones Virginia return.
