EITC "The List" - Radio PSA :60 script
WOMAN: Stock up the fridge.
Pay down the bills.
Oh, buy some new work clothes. Yuh, that’s the first thing I’d get.
ANNCR: Oh! The things you would do if you just had some extra money, right?
WOMAN: Fill up the tank. Get a tune-up. And a new front tire.
ANNCR: Well, maybe you do have money waiting for you.
WOMAN: Really?
ANNCR: At the IRS.
WOMAN: (laughs) You’re kidding, right?
ANNCR: No, really. If you’re a working person making less than 49 thousand, you could qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit, the EITC. Some people will get as much as fifty-seven hundred back when they file their taxes and claim the credit. It’s money you could use to…
WOMAN: Wait, let me finish that thought. Paint the apartment, build up the savings account, buy a little something for the family.
ANNCR: Do you have money waiting for you? See if you qualify at www.irs.gov/eitc.
WOMAN: Fix these broken glasses, take a night school class, start a vegetable garden.
ANNCR: I think they get it.
WOMAN: Get a chain for my bike. Oh, and we all need some new raincoats
ANNCR: You can stop now.
WOMAN: I’d fix my computer. I’d upgrade it.
