What exactly is Earned Income Tax Credit?
Q. I've been trying to research alternative solutions instead of raising minimum wage and I've seen Earned Income Tax Credit multiple times but can't quite comprehend what it IS exactly. And while I'm on the topic, can anyone describe any other alternative solutions in lieu of hiking up the minimum wage to me? I'm trying to prepare for a debate and economics really isn't my forte.

A. A tax credit is a dollar-for-dollar reduction in your taxes. So I calculate that I would owe $1000 in incomes taxes, but then I realize I can claim a $200 tax credit, that means I only owe $800 in income taxes. Now, the earned income tax credit is available to certain low-income households, as a means to reduce their tax burden. In fact, thanks to the IEC, someone might get a "refund" from the IRS, even though they paid no income taxes at all. Your tax form starts out by giving you a standard deduction and exemptions for yourself and dependents before actual taxation kicks in. This means that the first block of income you make is not taxed, and after that the initial tax bracket is only 10%. So a low income worker or a part time worker… [cont.]

A. Filing as Head of Household and claiming the EIC are two separate and distinct isues. It's possible to file as HoH but not be eligible for the EIC and it is also possible to claim the EIC without filing as HoH. You generally can file as HoH if you are unmarried or are "considered unmarried" AND you paid more than half of the cost of maintaining a household AND a qualifying person lived in that household for more than half of the year.

Is the earned income tax credit(EITC) a check I get from the gov?
Q. I used an online tax calculator and it said I qualify for a $4,100 earned income tax credit. Is this an amount I actually get from the government or is it a credit I can use against some other sort of tax. I already know I'm getting a refund of the federal tax that was withheld throughout the year from my paycheck, but is this over and above that?

2006 Earned Income Credit tax question?
Q. My boyfriend and I have two children. We both work. He works full time, I work part time. He is claiming our two children on his taxes for the earned income tax credit. My question is, since I earned less than $4000 (just started working in Oct), can I claim zero dependants and take the $160 earned income credit since I am filing single status, or am I disqualified for this because he is getting a credit back for our two children?
Asked by mrjayride - Tue Jan 9 23:16:22 2007 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Yes, you can get a small EIC even if you are not claiming any children on your return. Since you're not married, your returns are totally separate, so it doesn't matter that he's claiming the children. Your income is low enough that you can get EIC even without any dependent children. This assumes that you are at least age 25. If you're not, then you aren't eligible for EIC without having a dependent child.

What is the criteria for claiming an Earned Income Tax Credit?
Q. I have a mother-in-law who is completely disabled and receives SSI disability checks as her sole source of income - can she file for an EIC? Thank you for your assistance!!

A. No, she is not eligible. There are a number of qualifications for the EIC but the first one that disqualifies her is the requirement to have EARNED income, just as the name Earned Income Credit implies. SSI is not earned income, so if it was her only source of income she is ineligible right from the start.

Can I recieve the earned income tax credit on SSI and Child support?

Asked by ooo_princesszelda_ooo - Tue Jan 9 23:43:02 2007 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments
A. You do not need to file your taxes. Both the SSI and Child Support are not taxed, so there is no refund, and no "earned income" to qualify you for the credit. If there is any earned income, you would need to file and would have to report the SSI but you do not need to even mention the child support. Child support is not considered an income for you or a deduction for the person who sends it.

Is the earned income tax credit unfair to single people and childless couples?
Q. I'm aware that it costs more to have children, but having children is a choice. Should I, a childless tax payer for 18 years, pay more in taxes than someone who has children? fair means the same for you and me. And no, you don't pay more in taxes than I do, if you have children. I pay the maximum amount of taxes, with no tax breaks for being married, having children. And in my state, and other states, healthcare is guaranteed for children under 18. Also, at my expense. I pay into every social program out there, and benefit from none. So, is that fair? I'm paying more. I don't get anything back. And yes, not having children is a choice, a choice that doesn't take money out of your pocket. Make your choices, leave me out of them.

A. You should be eligible for both. The Child Tax Credit is a credit off your tax liability. It is worth $1000. If you have no tax liability or very little you could possibly get the remainder as an Additional Child Tax Credit. The Earned Income Credit is a credit based on your earned income. You could qualify for this if you have no children and you are at least 25 years of age but less than 65. You would have to earn less than $12,880 ($15,880 MFJ). If you have children you could qualify for up to two children. The credit is worth up to $4824 depending on the number of children, your filing status, and your earned income or adjusted gross income.

A. Eligibility is based on earned income, number of qualifying children, and your age if you don't have children, and your filing status. Earned income is generally something job-related. Income limit is a little over $12K if you don't have children. You must be between age 25 and 64. If you have one qualifying child, the income limit is a little over $36K. With two or more, it's a little over $38K. With children, you don't have to be at least age 25. A qualifying child lived with you over half the year, and be under 19, or under 24 and a full-time student, or disabled.
