Well, if the mere fact that it's Friday isn't good enough for you, try this: Today is Earned Income Tax Credit Awareness Day.

Seriously.

The IRS calls the annual observance “a national grassroots effort spotlighting this potentially life-changing tax credit,” adding that “the need to reach out and ensure every qualified worker claims and receives their EITC is greater than ever.”

So let's get the party started! Find out more about EITC Awareness Day here, then check out these additional EITC resources from the IRS.

Oh, and I'm buying the first round.
