Working Families Tax Credit
The Working Families Tax Credit (WFTC) is an annual cash rebate of up to $1,200 for Washington state households with low and moderate incomes. This new credit went into effect in 2023.
Unlike similar programs at the federal level, the Working Families Tax Credit is available to people who file their taxes using an Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN), which includes undocumented immigrants.
