EIC Child credit for a single mom with 2 kids?

Question

I have been on the IRS website and it lists the maximum amount of money that you can earn and still qualify to collect the EIC credit if you are married with children, but I am not sure what the cut off is if you are single. Does anybody know? ( I am a single mom with 2 kids- and the only person who claims them.)


Also this is the first question I have ever asked.... and I realize that there is a spell check here. How come so many questions have terrible spelling?

Answer 1

The rate of EIC varies with your income.

The IRS usually posts both numbers at the same time.

For example:

>>>>$36,348 ($38,348 for married filing jointly) if you have more than one qualifying child<<<<

The $36,348 is the max you can earn as a single person and still receive EIC.

Generally, the spelling in Yahoo!Answers is horrendous. It seems as though people just don't care anymore. They guess at the spelling of a word and don't bother to spellcheck. I received a tax form from a county in Tennessee that spelled its own name wrong. Granted, it was Tennessee and we can't expect too much but spelling the county's name wrong on a county form. That is bizzare.
