AnnieR Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 My short-lived retirement has gone. I am doing returns (only for previous clients, no new ones). So I start out with this one. Clients (ages 78 and 67) have had grandson (5 yr) living with them for the entire year. Grandmother had 5700 of earned income, all other income is unearned (pensions, ss, etc.) After answering all the questions of F8867, I am getting an EIC of 1777. Is this correct? The gp's ages are what bother me? TIA AnnieR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmabee Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 I thought one had to be under 65. sure you have DOB listed correctly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn EA USTCP in Louisiana Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 It is under 65 for taxpayers without a child. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack from Ohio Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Based on the facts presented, your calculation seems correct. Watch out for all the questions and documentation on 8867. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eli Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 If they have a qualifying child the age rule is not a factor. Eli 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieR Posted February 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Thank you, just wanted to check if it was because of the ages. AnnieR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
