Working Families Tax Credit

Starting in 2023, the Working Families Tax Credit is a new tax refund that helps Washington workers, and their families get more money back at tax time. The refund returns a portion of sales tax paid each year and is modeled after the federal Earned Income Tax Credit program.
The purpose of the Working Families Tax Credit is to stimulate the local economy, promote racial equity, and support the financial stability and well-being of low-to-moderate income Washington residents and their families.
This credit program is managed by the Washington State Department of Revenue (DOR), the state’s tax administration agency. It is our goal to have businesses, unions, direct service providers, community members, and other partners who work with people eligible for this program join us with in our outreach efforts to promote the program.
In our website, www.workingfamiliestaxcredit.wa.gov, we have put together a Frequently Asked Questions section answering the most common questions about the program. You may also find a Qualifying tool with simple questions to see if individuals of families meet the criteria for the refund. There is also a toolkit for community partners or organizations that would like to help us spread the good news and most importantly; the change to request a speaker to come to your organization and do a demonstration in person or virtually about the program.

We have a team of communications specialists that are waiting to reach out to as many families and individuals as possible and with your help we can make this a reality.

Thank you in advance for your assistance,
