Although it is true that the majority of citizens in the United States have to send their tax return to the IRS, it is also true that there are several groups that are not obliged to do so. If this is your case, you should know that it is possible to get a bigger tax refund thanks to the tax credits that the IRS can grant to eligible citizens.
Having one of these tax credits can be a huge advantage, as it can mean a large amount of money in many cases. Likewise, we must also bear in mind that if we are not obliged to file the taxes, it is also possible to do so for free in most cases, or at least to get free help to send them in as soon as possible.
Without a doubt, this extra money makes a difference when planning the annual budget, since in the case of obtaining some of these tax advantages we will be able to have a larger budget. Likewise, paying the IRS taxes on time, if we have to, also makes life much easier, since it exempts us from having to pay fines and penalties.
Who can get Tax Credits from the IRS?
The truth is that there are several different types of tax credit and we should check everything related to them before applying. To find out more, there’s nothing better than using Direct File, a free tool that the IRS offers to all eligible beneficiaries. If you are eligible and live in a state that can use this tool, since some cannot, you should check all your available credits.
People who didn’t earn enough money to be required to file a tax return may mistakenly assume they’re not entitled to a tax refund. It’s not true! Claim any tax credits you’re due without spending any money using #IRS Free File: https://t.co/3byJqk9N8d

If you can’t use Direct File, it doesn’t mean you don’t have access to any kind of Tax Credit. Many families can get this kind of financial help even if they can’t use Direct File. To know 100% if we are eligible for a Credit we must take into account many aspects such as, for example, our level of income.
The best thing to do in these situations is to go directly to a professional who knows how to help us get the biggest Tax Credit possible. Although in any case we must be very careful when hiring a professional, since they must be registered in the IRS directory of professionals.
