:dwillhuh:This shyt has me confused right now. Has something changed? Can single homeowners with no children (or any children to claim) file for EIC now?

It keeps telling me I am eligible for EIC. And I have no children and I'm not a widow :mjpls:

:patrice:The amount they offered me isn't half shabby either....

Maybe I'm not reading this correctly. But I'm about to call just in case.

They know nikkas don't read :comeon:

  • Must have earned income, such as wages, tips or the income from running a business or farm. Most other types of income, such as retirement pensions, though usually taxable, do not count as earned income;
  • Must have a Social Security number that is valid for employment for self, spouse and any qualifying children;
  • A person can get the credit even with a small amount of investment income, such as interest from a bank account. However, the amount of investment income is limited to $3,300;
  • The filing status used must be single, head of household, married filing jointly or qualifying widow or widower. A taxpayer who files as married filing separately cannot get the credit;
  • Generally, must be either a U.S. citizen or resident alien;
  • Cannot be a qualifying child of another person;
  • Cannot file Form 2555 or Form 2555-EZ. These forms are used to claim the foreign earned income exclusion, a tax benefit for Americans who live and work abroad.
