Working Families Tax Credit Updates – June 2025
There is still time to apply for 2024 WFTC
Tax Day may have passed, but there is still time to apply for the 2024 WFTC. If you’re not sure if you’re eligible, use the WFTC eligibility checker. This checker is updated for tax year 2024 to match the adjusted income thresholds and refund amounts. In the 2025 calendar year, DOR has received more than 321,000 WFTC applications.
Claim your tax credit for tax years 2022 and 2023
It’s not too late to apply for tax years 2022 and 2023! The deadline for tax year 2022 is December 31, 2026, and tax year 2023 is December 31, 2027.
Apply at one of our free application events, online using MyDOR (our secure filing system), or at one of our local offices.
Where is your refund? Check online!
Check your application status by using our Where is my refund tool--no login required. It will show the status of all tax years you’ve applied for.
All you need is your SSN or ITIN, date of birth, and the income reported on Line 1z of your federal tax form 1040 or 1040-SR. Call our call center at (360) 763-7300 for questions.
Military and Veteran Eligibility
If you are apart of the military or veteran community, you may be eligible for WFTC! Even if you receive military pensions or veterans’ benefits, certain types of income can qualify you for this refund. If you’re not sure if you’re eligible, use the WFTC eligibility checker and read more information on military and veteran eligibility.
