Frequently Asked Questions
QUESTION: Two years ago, I worked 2 months but never filed a federal tax return and do not have any documents to show that I worked. What should I do?
The following information is for people who got a Notice of Overpayment from the Social Security Administration (SSA).
The information is from a website called Learn the Law.org that is information put together by Statewide Legal Services, CTLawHelp.org and Center for Computer-Assisted Learning (CALI) to help people with common legal aid problems.
Have you lost SSI, Social Security disability, or retirement benefits because of a PROBATION or PAROLE VIOLATION WARRANT?
In April 2012 in the class action lawsuit Clark v. Astrue, the court ordered the Social Security Administration (SSA) to change its policies – SSA can no longer deny benefits to people based solely on an outstanding probation or parole violation warrant.
Who is affected by this court order?
The American Rescue Plan (ARP) temporarily expanded the existing small federal earned income tax credit (EITC) for low-wage working adults without children at home.
They increased the maximum credit and broadened the eligibility to younger and older workers.
This newly eligible population consists of childless adults between the ages of 19-24 and over the age of 65.
The expansion goes into effect this year (for those with earnings in tax year 2021) and will benefit millions of adult workers.
Did you know that many Americans can keep more of their money at tax time by getting free tax preparation from IRS-certified volunteer preparers?
The IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) and the AARP Foundation Tax-Aide programs provide free preparation – without upcharges or hidden fees – and serve taxpayers using rigorous IRS preparation standards and certified tax preparers.

Don’t be the one in five that misses this credit!
The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) helps low- to moderate-income workers and families get a tax break. If you qualify, you can use the credit to reduce the taxes you owe – and maybe increase your refund.
