Deals with the possible Federal Tax Refund Due to the Earned Income Credit
What Is the EIC? ( Earned Income Credit )
The EIC is a refundable tax credit for certain workers.
Who May Claim the EIC?
A taxpayers may be able to claim the EIC for 2012 if you worked and all four of the following conditions apply.
1. You and or your spouse, if filing a joint return and have a valid social security number (SSN) issued by the Social Security Administration.
2. Your 2012 earned income and adjusted gross income are both under $36,920 ($42,130 if married filing jointly) if you have one qualifying child; under $41,952 ($47,162 if married filing jointly) if you have two qualifying children; under $45,060 ($50,270 if married filing jointly) if you have three or more qualifying children; or under $13,980 ($19,190 if married filing jointly) if you do not have a qualifying child. For a definition of earned income, see the 2012 instructions for Form 1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ.
3. Your filing status on your 2012 tax return is any status except married filing a separate return.
4. You were not a qualifying child of another taxpayer in 2012.
If you do not have a qualifying child, you must also meet these conditions.
a. You, or your spouse if filing a joint return, were at least age 25 but under age 65 at the end of 2012. (You meet this condition if you, or your spouse if filing a joint return, were born after December 31, 1947, and before January 2, 1988.) If your spouse died in 2012,
b. You cannot be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s 2012 tax return.
c. Your home, and your spouse’s if filing a joint return, was in the United States for over half of 2012.
If you are in the military ( first thank you ) on extended active duty outside the United States, your home is considered to be in the United States during that duty period and you may be able to claim the EIC.
You cannot claim EIC if any of the following conditions apply.
1. Your 2012 investment income (such as interest and
dividends) is over $3,200. See Pub. 596 for more information.
2. You file either Form 2555 or Form 2555-EZ (relating to foreign earned income).
3. You were a nonresident alien for any part of 2012 unless you
were married to a U.S. citizen or resident and elected to be taxed as
a resident alien for the entire year.
Who Is a Qualifying Child?
Any child who meets all four of the following conditions is a qualifying child.
1. The child is your son, daughter, stepchild, foster child, brother, sister, half brother, half sister, stepbrother, stepsister, or a descendant of any of them (for example, your grandchild, niece, or nephew).
An adopted child is always treated as your own child. An adopted child includes a child lawfully placed with you for legal adoption.
A foster child is any child placed with you by an authorized placement agency or by judgment, decree, or other order of any court of competent jurisdiction.
2. At the end of 2012, the child was under age 19 and younger than you (or your spouse, if filing jointly); or under age 24, a student, and younger than you (or your spouse, if filing jointly); or any age and permanently and totally disabled.
3. The child lived with you in the United States for over half of 2012. If the child did not live with you for the required time, there are exceptions if the child was born or died during the year, the child is presumed to have been kidnapped by someone who is not a family member, or there was a temporary absence.
4. The child does not file a joint income tax return for 2012.
There are additional rules if a child is married or is the qualifying child of more than one person.
For more details see the 2012 instructions for Form 1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ.
How Do You Claim the EIC?
If you are eligible to claim the EIC on your 2012 income tax return.
If you have a qualifying child, you must also fill in Schedule EIC and attach it to your Form 1040 or Form 1040A.
If eligible, you can claim the EIC to get a refund even if you have no tax withheld from your pay or owe no tax.
An example: if you had no tax withheld in 2012 and owe no tax but are eligible for a credit of $800, you must file a 2012 income tax return to get the $800 refund.
