TULSA, Okla. — Tulsa Mayor G.T. Bynum declared Friday “Earned Income Tax Credit” awareness day in the city.
The City of Tulsa and Goodwill Industries spent the day reminding families about the importance of the credit and how much money Tulsans can earn.

Goodwill industries’ VITA program is partnering with the city to raise awareness about the tax credit. Experts say about 20% of households miss out on this credit every year.
“To get the credit, you have to file a tax return. That’s why we’re spreading awareness. Goodwill VITA program to offer free tax preparation services to anyone making 58,000 dollars or less,” Modi Kwanza with the Goodwill said.
