I have a mother-in-law who is completely disabled and receives SSI disability checks as her sole source of income - can she file for an EIC? Thank you for your assistance!!
What is the criteria for claiming an Earned Income Tax Credit?
No, she is not eligible. There are a number of qualifications for the EIC but the first one that disqualifies her is the requirement to have EARNED income, just as the name Earned Income Credit implies. SSI is not earned income, so if it was her only source of income she is ineligible right from the start.
Reply:Go directly to their site and ask www.irs.gov
Reply:No she can't get EIC. There are several criteria. First of all, you have to have earned income - and SSI isn't earned income. Then there are income limits that must be met to be eligible - they vary depending on the number of qualifying children and whether you file a joint return or not.
