my husband is in prison and i was going to file my taxes as married filing jointly but my husband says he heard another inmate say his wife got a $400 tax credit because he was in prison. this didn't sound right to me and i wanted to check before filing
Can you get a tax credit if you spouse is in prison?
No, you don't get a credit for being in prison, or for your spouse being in prison. What the other guy might have been talking about was the Earned Income credit. Maybe since he was in prison and not working, her income alone was low enough to be eligible for the EIC where if he'd been working, they'd have been over the limit.
Reply:There is no such credit.
What would the credit be for.....being a burden on Society?
Reply:No such thing!
