Working Families Tax Credit
Working Families Tax Credit
The Working Families Tax Credit (WFTC) is an annual cash rebate of up to $1,330 for Washington state households with low and moderate incomes. The amount you can receive varies by household size and income and increases annually with inflation.
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.
In 2025, around 300,000 households received an average cash boost of $722 from the Working Families Tax Credit. State Earned Income Tax Credits (EITC), like the WFTC, are a critical, proven tool to help families meet their basic needs and have long-lasting health, education, and employment benefits.
Learn more about the program, find out if you are eligible, and apply through the Washington Department of Revenue.
