Tax Relief - Earned Income Tax Credit

You may be able to salvage a refund check from the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) if you were employed last year, but did not have enough income. The qualifying amount for EITC is definite by your filing region and whether you have one or more qualifying child. You need to have a social security number and be a citizen of the U.S. or a resident alien during the year to qualify for this tax relief.

Married people need to file joint returns to claim this credit. In fact, the EITC back is greater for this filing spot than any other. There is no tax relief if your filing spot is married filing separately. If the parents of a child are not married, one of the parents can claim the credit but not both. Of course, if they have more than one child, each parent can claim tax relief for one or more child. If a claim is made in respect to the same child by more than one parent, the credit goes to the parent with whom the child spent more time during the year.

The will have lived with you for more than six months for you to claim the credit. However, you need not claim the child as a dependent unless he is married. However, the social security number of the child has to be given.

Though having a qualifying child pushes up the threshold limit for EITC and thus enables you to procure more tax relief, it is not a principal condition for the credit. However, you need to be a resident of the USA for over half a year and should not be a dependent of another person.
