If so, do you wait for a 1099 or do you have to go into the gov. office and ask for totals on a print out from them? Single mom of baby has not made enough to receive EIC and is not required to file unless TANF etc needs to be reported.

Mother only worked part time and started in Oct. She made less than $500 & withholdings totaled about $61.She has been told she dont "qualify" for EIC & since she didnt make that much either there is no need to even file.We thought if TANF etc was added to income she might would have made enough to qualify for the EIC. So now she gets nothing back?

NO. none of that is taxable. If you made even $100 you can still get EIC on that child and get back what you paid in 4 taxes..if any at all. As a single parent I am sure you NEED every dime you can get.

A 1099 is for EARNED INCOME- tanf, food stamps, etc are not EARNED.
As has been said- you can file for EIC if you worked at all in 2006, however the less you made, the less EIC you would receive.

Sweetheart, when you receive TANF, food stamps, or medicaid; that is tax free money. I use to be in the TANF program (VIEW) and it helped me out so much. Before I couldn't hold a job because I didn't have reliable childcare, but when I joined the VIEW program I was able to get immediate daycare, I got so many helpful resources. I was able to find a good job all while in that program. I really think you should try the program to help you get a job so that you can work and be able to file your taxes next year for you and your baby. Ask your social worker about the VIEW program.

None of that is taxable, and none of it is earned income for purposes of the EITC.
If you DID have earned income, even just a little, you might want to prepare a return and see if you are eligible for the EITC. From the information provided, even if you only had $1,000 in earned income, your EITC payment would be about $350.

Your son's dad should be paying child support. If he (the dad) is giving you financial aid in anyway, you need to report this as well. I live in Texas too, and they are very strict that you report all things. Also, your child's dad needs to have your son on his insurance policy. You will have less problems with regular insurance than medicaid. You need to check with him to see why he has not put his son on his insurance. Good Luck. I know that any amount of aid is really appreciated.
