jasdlm Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 I don't have any clients who qualify for EIC, so I'm not very familiar with the calculations, qualififications, etc. I am trying to help a student (struggling single Mom), pro bono, of course. She only has $1,512 in W2 income and 1 child. She brought me (along with her W2) a list that appears to be from SRS itemizing the monthly cash assistance payments she received in 2007. Is this relevant to the EIC calculation? I can't figure out why she brought this list to me. If someone who does work with EIC has a quick answer, it's much appreciated. Thanks.

cathyan Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 If SRS is welfare payments, no they don't figure in the EIC. If she were trying to claim the child as a dependent, then, of course, you'd use the payments to see who provided more support. But, for EIC, you don't have to claim the child as a dependent. Just make sure she does qualify. Use the checklists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julie Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 She's probably bringing that because it lists the birth dates and SS numbers. Thanks much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
