Services are available in English, Spanish and Creole. Call each Prosperity Center (or visit their Website) for details.
Also, find out if you are eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is a tax credit for people who have earned income in 2009 under $49,000. A tax credit usually means more money in your pocket. It reduces the amount of tax you owe. Learn more
