Reply:EIC is based on your income.. if you make less than a certain amount you get a set amount of money for each child.
Reply:To Qualify depends on several factors.


You must have a valiod social security number


You must have made some sort of income

The rest depends on how much you make and if you have kids or not.

Reply:You must be over 25 and make under a certain amount of money doesn't matter if its from a job or family. As long as you do not make over that amount then you qualify for EIC .
Reply:Earned Income tax credit is rewarded to people who do not have job skills, refuse to learn, stay at entry level work and get the money the rest of us pay. Because it is the fair thing to do.
