I claimed a child, and H and R block said I qualified for the Earned Income Credit, however, the IRS office says that im getting audited and they want proof that I can't provide. They said i'd get something in the mail soon, what will happen if I just don't send anything at all?
Please only answer if you know what you're talking about. Thanks

If you don't send anything, they will audit you and find your filing incorrect and ask you to pay the difference and the interest. What is the proof that you can't provide? It's hard to believe they are auditing you just for one thing. Do you think there are more they are questioning? I got a letter once because the number didn't match and they didn't have 1099 to prove it. Because I didn't have time to do all the research, I ended up paying them a couple hundred dollars. However, every IRS employees I talked to was very helpful and polite. Why don't you try telling them you can't find the document and see what they would say?

There are only 4 main reasons that you are being denied the EIC.
1. You made too much money.
2. You are not allowed to claim a qualifing child.
3. You filed married, filing separately.
4. There is an incorrect SSN
If you don't prove your case, then you have extra taxes to pay

as a practicle matter, first wait for their letter & see what they want. Next take it back to H&R Block & let them deal with it for you. This is part of the "service" you paid them a fee to handel. It would seem to me to be pretty easy to prove that you had a child or were otherwise entitled to the EITC-Birth certificate, court orders for custody, court's support orders, past tax returns when you claimed junior...
If you do nothing IRS will prob adjust your return by disallowing the deduction, recalculating your filing status, recalculate your tax liability, and send you a bill for some $$$$. pay it !!!!!

Try finding this proof. If you can't provide proof you will not be eligible for EITC anymore. What kind of proof do you need?
