  • EARNED INCOME TAX CREDIT (EITC)

    DUE DILIGENCE DISCLOSURE & TAXPAYER CERTIFICATION

    A Unique Experience

    • SECTION 1: EITC ELIGIBILITY ACKNOWLEDGMENT 
    • (Required for All Taxpayers Claiming EITC)

      I understand that to claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), I must meet all IRS eligibility requirements, including but not limited to the following:

      Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) Limits for Tax Year 2025
      My AGI must be less than:
      • $61,555 ($68,675 MFJ) with three or more qualifying children
      • $57,310 ($64,430 MFJ) with two qualifying children
      • $50,434 ($57,554 MFJ) with one qualifying child
      • $19,104 ($26,214 MFJ) with no qualifying children

      I further acknowledge that I must meet all of the following conditions:
      • I have a valid Social Security Number issued before the due date of the return
      • I am not filing as Married Filing Separately
      • I was a U.S. citizen or resident alien for the entire tax year
      • I did not file Form 2555 or Form 2555-EZ
      • My investment income does not exceed $10,300
      • I earned at least $1 of earned income
      • Any qualifying child meets the IRS relationship, age, residency, and joint return tests
      • No other taxpayer is claiming the same qualifying child
      • I am not the qualifying child of another taxpayer
      • If claiming EITC without a qualifying child, I am at least 25 and under age 65
      • I am not claimed as a dependent by another taxpayer
      • I lived in the United States for more than half of the year

    • SECTION 2: QUALIFYING CHILD & HOUSEHOLD CERTIFICATION 
    • (Due Diligence Verification Statement)

      I certify that the qualifying child(ren) listed on my return:
      • Lived with me in the United States for more than half of the tax year
      • Were financially supported primarily by me
      • Are not being claimed by any other taxpayer for EITC, CTC, ACTC, or HOH filing status

      I understand that providing false information regarding dependents or residency may result in the denial of credits, repayment of refunds, penalties, and a multi-year ban from claiming EITC.

    • SECTION 3: MAXIMUM CREDIT DISCLOSURE (NOT GUARANTEED) 
    • I understand that the maximum EITC amounts for Tax Year 2025 are:
      • $8,046 – Three or more qualifying children
      • $7,152 – Two qualifying children
      • $4,328 – One qualifying child
      • $649 – No qualifying children

      I acknowledge that eligibility does not guarantee receipt of the maximum credit, and final credit amounts are determined by IRS calculations based on verified income, filing status, and household information.

    • SECTION 4: REFUND TIMING NOTICE (PATH ACT) 
    • I understand that if I claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC), the IRS is legally prohibited from issuing my refund before mid-February, even for portions of the refund not related to these credits.

       

    • SECTION 5: TAXPAYER PENALTY & PERJURY DISCLOSURE 
    • (Required for Due Diligence Compliance)

      • Accuracy-related penalties
      • Civil fines
      • Criminal penalties for tax fraud or perjury
      • Disallowance of EITC for up to 10 years
