Joel A. Lee, CPA, Director of the Virgin Islands Bureau of Internal Revenue, announces the 2025 Earned Income Tax Credit seminars. These free seminars are being offered to provide tax guidance and useful information to taxpayers and tax preparers regarding the refundable tax credit that is paid to Virgin Islands residents.
The seminar will be offered on St. Thomas on Wednesday, March 19, at DPNR’s conference room in Tutu Park Mall. In St. Croix, the seminar will be held on Wednesday, March 26, at the UVI Great Hall on the Albert Sheen Campus. The seminar will start at 6 p.m. and end at 8 p.m.
This year, the Virgin Islands Bureau of Internal Revenue is promoting EITC and providing information on other refundable tax credits that you may be eligible for. This includes the Child Tax Credit (CTC) and Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC), the Credit for Other Dependents (ODC) and/or the American Opportunity Tax Credit (AOTC).
If you worked last year and your income is less than $59,899, check out your eligibility for EITC. EITC can mean up to a $7,830.00 refund when you file a return and have qualifying children. Workers with no qualifying children could be eligible for a smaller credit, up to $632.00.
You are invited to attend these free seminars to learn more about the Earned Income Tax Credit, and maximize the amount of your refund. If you have questions regarding the seminar, please contact Perpetua Cranston, Chief of Audit, at (340) 773-1040
