Starting in January 2018, Oregon Employers Must Provide Employees with EITC Information with W-2s
Legal Alert
Starting this January, Oregon employers must send their employees specific information about the Oregon and federal earned income tax credits (“EITC”) with every W-2. The notice must be sent at the same time as the W-2, in the same manner as the W-2 (electronically or mail), and say this:
“Employees may be eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC or EIC), a benefit for working people with low to moderate income, particularly those with children. EITC reduces the amount of tax owed and may provide a refund.
