Omaha Earned Income Tax Credit Coalition
The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) Coalition promotes the claiming of tax credits through quality volunteer tax return preparation with a goal of providing educational tools and community resources for family asset development.
Our members are credit unions and banks, community and civic organizations, federal, state and local agencies, universities and other professional associations and coalitions dedicated to reducing poverty by increasing financial literacy and creating access to quality financial institutions and products.
Tax Season 2013
Since 2006, we have offered free tax preparation, as well as a long list of services to promote financial stability to our customers, through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program.
The Earned Income Tax Credit is just one of the many tax credits available to those who file a tax return, and the amount varies by household income and family size. Some people miss out on this credit because they don’t owe any taxes and then don’t file a return. By filing a return they can claim this credit and get the money due them. The only way to get the Earned Income Credit, or any other valuable credit, is to file a tax return.
The coalition is committed to empowering customers to improve stability and connect them with responsible partners in the community. Last year these volunteers donated 6,000 plus hours and returned a value through refunds, fees saved, and additional services offered of over $13 million. Through these efforts, we seek to achieve our combined goal of reducing poverty in the heartland.

Temporada de Impuestos 2013
Desde 2006, hemos ofrecido preparación gratuita de impuestos, así como una larga lista de servicios para promover la estabilidad financiera para nuestros clientes por el programa de voluntarios de asistencia de impuestos o VITA.
El Crédito Tributario de los Ingresos Ganados (EITC) es uno de los muchos créditos fiscales a quienes hacen una declaración de impuestos y la cantidad varía según el ingreso y tamaño de la familia. Algunas personas se pierdan en este crédito porque no debe impuestos y, a continuación, no presentar una declaración. Por presentar la declaración pueden reclamar estos créditos y obtener el dinero por ellos. La única forma de obtener el crédito por ingresos del trabajo, o cualquier otro crédito valioso, es hacer una declaración de impuestos.
La coalición se compromete a potenciar a los clientes a mejorar la estabilidad y conectarlos con los socios responsables de la comunidad. El año pasado, nuestros voluntarios donaron 6.000 más horas y devolvieron un valor a través de reembolsos, tasas guardadas y servicios adicionales de más de $13 millones. Gracias a estos esfuerzos, buscamos lograr nuestra meta combinado de reducción de la pobreza en el área metropolitano.

Poverty Dialogue Series
The Coalition hosted a series of discussions about the challenges and opportunities for reducing poverty in the communities we serve. Our starting point was our annual report on the 2012 Tax Season, but each conversation also examined the unique impact in the communities of the metropolitan area.
