EITC - Earned Income Tax Credit

The IRS loans taxpayers up to 4,824.00 instantly if they qualify for an easy to get EITC tax return credit. At tax time many people miss a very helpful refundable tax credit that can help them to have a higher refund. The Earned Income Tax Credit or EITC is worth almost 5,000.00 to the lucky taxpayers who qualify for the highest amount of money that this credit has to offer. Taxpayers with children living under their roofs during the tax year, and some taxpayers without children can often qualify for this nice Earned Income Tax Credit. Tips about the EITC potential refund money: The EITC is promoted as a tax credit for lower income families. But, this promotion is not always what it sounds like on the surface. Every taxpayer with children living under their roofs for longer than six months out of the tax year should check to see if they qualify for this income tax return credit. The children under your roof do not have to be children that you have given birth to. Foster Care providers that have children in their homes that stay for a period longer than six months out of the tax year can claim the Earned Income Tax Credit money. So can grandparents caring for grandchildren, adult children caring for younger siblings, aunts, uncles, legal guardianships, and others. Resident aliens can also qualify for an EITC income tax credit if they meet the IRS requirements for this refundable tax credit money. For tax year 2009, the Earned Income Tax Credit amounts can be: • 4,824.00 dollars for homes with two or more children. • 2,917.00 dollars for homes with one child. • 438.00 dollars for lower-income taxpayers without children. Qualifying income amounts vary depending upon your circumstances. In the USA, it is estimated that up to one-quarter of the tax payers that are allowed to claim this tax credit do not ask that this money be credited to their names on their income tax filings. If a taxpayer finds that they have qualified for this refund in past years, but missed taking it, the IRS will allow taxpayers to go back and amend their taxes for three years.
