FAQ
  • How can I check my Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) eligibility?

    To check your Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) eligibility, you can use the EITC Assistant tool provided by the IRS. The tool asks for your income, filing status, and number of qualifying children to determine if you meet the basic requirements for the credit. Note that this tool only checks eligibility based on these factors and does not provide an exact credit amount.

  • How do I calculate my Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) for married filing jointly with two qualifying children?

    To calculate your EITC as a married filer jointly with two qualifying children, you can use the EITC tables provided by the IRS. The tables list the maximum credits available based on income levels and the number of qualifying children. For example, if your total earned income is $54,884 and you have two qualifying children, your credit would be $6,192.

  • What is the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and how does it work?

    The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is a tax credit designed to benefit low- and moderate-income working individuals and families. The amount of the credit depends on various factors, including income, filing status, and the number of qualifying children. To be eligible for the EITC, you must meet certain requirements, such as having valid Social Security numbers (SSNs) for yourself, your spouse (if applicable), and any qualifying children. The credit can be claimed when filing a tax return. The EITC reduces the amount of tax owed, or increases the refund, depending on the circumstances.
