Beginning January 1, 2022, and ending December 31, 2022, the DC EITC is increased from 40% to 70% of the federal EIC. Individuals with qualifying children receiving the DC EITC will be paid differently than in previous years. Taxpayers will receive a refund equal to 40% of their federal EIC as usual after their return is processed. The additional 30% of the DC EITC, however, will be paid in monthly installments over eleven months pursuant to District law.
