TAX KNOWLEDGE: EIC & CHILD TAX CREDIT
💰 WHAT IS EIC?
The Earned Income Credit (EIC), also called the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), is a federal tax credit designed for eligible workers and families with earned income. Depending on the taxpayer’s situation, the credit may reduce the amount of tax owed and may increase a refund.
Examples of situations that may qualify for EIC: • A qualifying taxpayer who worked during the year and meets the income requirements.
• A working parent with one or more qualifying children who meets the EIC rules.
• Certain taxpayers without qualifying children may also qualify if they meet the age, income, residency, and other IRS requirements.
• The amount of EIC can vary based on earned income, filing status, and the number of qualifying children.
👨👩👧 WHAT IS THE CHILD TAX CREDIT (CTC)?
The Child Tax Credit is a federal tax credit available to eligible taxpayers who have qualifying children and meet IRS requirements. It can help reduce a taxpayer’s federal income tax liability. Depending on current tax law and eligibility, a portion may be refundable through the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC).
Examples of Child Tax Credit situations: • A parent claims an eligible child who meets the IRS age, relationship, residency, support, citizenship, and dependent requirements.
• A married couple filing jointly may qualify for the credit for each qualifying child if they meet the applicable income requirements.
• A taxpayer with multiple qualifying children may potentially receive a credit for each eligible child, subject to IRS rules and income limitations.
⚠️ IMPORTANT:
EIC and Child Tax Credit eligibility is not based on having a child alone. Income, filing status, residency, relationship, age, Social Security number requirements, and other IRS rules can affect eligibility.
