    Happy #snowday from W&L Law!
  • From the great students in the W&L Law Tax Clinic: Jan. 29 is Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) Awareness Day! The EITC is a refundable tax credit and is one of the biggest tax breaks for working people. Working families with three or more qualifying children could be eligible for up to $6,600. The purpose of EITC awareness day is to coordinate awareness events and other information-sharing activities to educate as many people as possible about EITC on the same date. For more information on claiming the EITC and eligibility qualifications, click the link the bio.

For claiming the EITC for the 2020 tax year, unemployment payments and other unearned income received could affect the amount of earned income a worker can claim. However, under the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020, taxpayers may elect to use their 2019 earned income to determine their EITC if their 2019 earned income is more than their 2020 earned income. 

If you, or someone you know, might be eligible for EITC, visit the EITC Assistant on IRS.gov.

  • Do you find the idea of corporate personhood confusing? Thanks to W&L Law professor and now children's book author Carliss Chatman @carlissc, you (and your kids) will understand after reading "Companies are People Too." http://ow.ly/tQKz50Dl4gm

  • Law students and community members began the remembrance of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s life and legacy at the 5th annual CARE celebration in downtown Lexington. This year’s observance took the form of a standing parade to allow for social distancing as church bells across the city rang out. Link in bio for more MLK Day events.
