Filing Taxes: EIC (Earned Income Tax Credit)

[TrifeGod]

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

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.

When I did my taxes, it said EIC was for those who made less than $14K...no dependents

• 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.
