Presentation transcript:

 The Earned Income Credit (EIC) is a refundable tax credit available to eligible taxpayers who do not earn high incomes.  The purpose of the EIC is to reduce the tax burden and supplement the wages of working families whose earnings are less than the maximum for their filing status.  Taxpayers who qualify for this credit can receive a refund even if they have no filing requirement, owe no tax, and had no income tax withheld.

 There are three sets of rules for claiming the EIC:  General eligibility rules for everyone  Rules for taxpayers with one or more qualifying children  Rules for taxpayers who do not have a qualifying child

 When applying these rules, be careful to avoid the most common EIC filing errors:  Incorrectly reporting income  Incorrectly reported social security numbers  Married taxpayers incorrectly filing as a Single or Head of Household  Claiming a child who is not a qualifying child

Rules for Everyone Taxpayers must meet all of the Rules for Everyone to qualify for the EIC.

Rules If You Have a Qualifying Child For EIC purposes, the taxpayer has a qualifying child if the child meets all the tests

Rules If You Do Not Have a Qualifying Child Taxpayers can file Form 1040 to claim the EIC without a qualifying child.

 The amount of the EIC credit is determined using worksheets and the earned income credit tables.  The EIC worksheets and tables can be found in Publication 596 or the Form 1040 Instructions.
