Do I Qualify for EITC?
If you’re like millions of Americans, you work hard but don’t earn a high income. The federal government has several resources including the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) that can help you and your family. The EITC is essentially a tax credit for low-income workers who meet certain qualifications, which usually means more money in their pockets. If you qualify, you could pay less federal income tax, pay no tax or receive a refund.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and its community partners are working to increase EITC participation among taxpayers who have low incomes and meet EITC eligibility rules. We know the rules can be complicated and we want to help you understand all the eligibility requirements.
Claimants must have a valid Social Security number. In addition, one must meet certain residency and filing criteria, including following guidelines for a qualifying child. The following are income requirements for 2008:
A taxpayer’s total earned income must be at least $1 and their earned income and adjusted gross income (AGI) must both be less than:
• $12,880 with no qualifying child ($15,880 if married, filing jointly)
• $33,995 with one qualifying child ($36,995 if married, filing jointly)
• $38,646 with more than one qualifying child ($41,646 if married, filing jointly)
• Investment income cannot be more than $2,950.
If you think you might qualify for EITC and would like assistance, you can call
