IRS Form 15111 – Earned Income Credit (EIC) Worksheet (Fillable PDF)

What Is IRS Form 15111?

IRS Form 15111 is the Earned Income Credit (EIC) Worksheet used when the IRS sends you a CP09 notice. The worksheet helps you determine whether you qualify for the Earned Income Credit and, if so, calculates the amount of any refund you may be entitled to.

How to Complete the Earned Income Credit Worksheet

Filling out Form 15111 is straightforward. You’ll need your personal information, Social Security numbers, filing status, and details about earned income and investment income. Follow these steps:

1. Enter taxpayer and spouse information exactly as it appears on your tax return.
2. Answer the residency statements – you must have lived in the United States for at least half the year.
3. Provide earned‑income figures and verify that your adjusted gross income (AGI) falls below the EIC thresholds.
4. Confirm that your investment income does not exceed the $11,600 limit.
5. Calculate the credit using the worksheet tables provided on the form.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Incorrect SSN. A single digit error will delay processing.
• Leaving blanks. Every required field must be completed; use “0” if a value does not apply.
• Mismatched filing status. Ensure the status matches the tax return you filed.
• Exceeding investment‑income limits. Double‑check investment income from all sources.
