The Working Families Tax Credit is a new annual tax credit available solely to citizens of the state of Washington. A reimbursement of $50 to $1,200; however, the precise sum will be determined by the household income of the Washington resident.
Additionally, it will rely on the number of eligible children you have living in your household. Additionally, anyone using ITINs, such as undocumented employees and others, may qualify for such a tax refund.
