ALTON - Morse Home Improvement, a home improvement and remodeling business based in Alton, is celebrating a milestone anniversary of 60 years in business in 2022. The company has provided kitchen and bathroom remodeling, patio enclosures, awnings, entry doors, and other related services to the Madison, Jersey, and St. Clair County areas for decades.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) recommends that all workers who earned around $57,414, or less learn about EITC eligibility and use the EITC Assistant to find out if they qualify. "A family's eligibility can change year to year,
