To qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit, or EITC, you must: Be at least 25 years old, but not older than 65. If youre claiming jointly without children, only one person needs to meet the age requirement. Have worked and earned at least $1 in income (pensions and unemployment dont count), but no more than $63,398.
You need to have taxable income to receive the child tax credit. It may be that your income is too low to qualify for the credit. You may qualify for the additional child tax credit if you dont qualify for the normal credit of $2,000 per child. This will allow you to see if you have any income tax or credits.
This includes if: You or your spouse dont have a valid SSN. Your AGI is too high: your earned income and AGI exceed certain limits, you may not be eligible for the EIC. Your investment or foreign income is too high: Both scenarios disqualify you from taking the credit.
You (and your spouse if you file a joint tax return) must: Meet the EITC basic qualifying rules. Have your main home in the United States for more than half the tax year. Not be claimed as a qualifying child on anyone elses tax return. Be at least age 25 but under age 65 (at least one spouse must meet the age rule)
The most common reasons people dont qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit, or EIC, are as follows: Their AGI, earned income, and/or investment income is too high. They have no earned income.
