  • The questions ask on the Dependent Due Diligence questionaire is answered to the best of my knowledge. I understand that the IRS requires taxpayers to pass the age, residency test, and relationship test and also can confirm the dependent does not make more than half of your income in order to be eligible to claim a dependet for the purpose of the EITC/ CTC. In an event of an audit, it is your responsibility as the taxpayer to be able to provide physical proof directly to the IRS that your dependent is a qualifying dependent. Proof to pass the residency test and the relationship test can be found on irs.gov. Penalties for fraudently claiming the EITC / CTC are also on the IRS.GOV site. By signing below and submitting this form, in addition to the Client Intake Form is my acknowledgment that I agree with the responses and documents uploaded to this form.
