The Washington Working Families Tax Credit Application can be generated and e-filed through Drake Tax. Data entry is available by going to the States tab > WA Washington. Generally, information needed for the credit application will carry from federal data entry, however, additional entries and overrides can be made where needed.

Direct deposit of the credit can be requested by filling out the federal DD screen. Note that the WA DOR reviews each application and if the estimated refund after the review does not match the original amount, the WA DOR may mail a check directly to the client rather than making a direct deposit.
