Earned Income Tax Credit: In the United States, the Earned Income Tax Credit is a useful way to get money into the hands of low- and moderate-income earners. If your income is less than $63,398, you may be eligible for a credit on your 2023 federal tax return (the tax return you file in 2024), depending on your filing status and the number of qualifying children.

In addition, the credit amount can be considerable and you can get it by reading my message. A worker’s earned income credit in 2023 can be up to $7,430 if they have eligible children. The credit limit drops to $600 if you’re childless, but it’s still a lot better than nothing. Also, if the tax you otherwise owe is less than the credit, you won’t lose it because the credit is fully refundable.

Income Tax Credit One part of the tax law designed to fight poverty is the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). It was first introduced provisionally in 1975 amid widespread debate about welfare reform, and its main purpose is to encourage people to find work.

The EITC was originally designed to help poor working families with children. But it was later extended to middle-class families and, to a much lesser extent, to families without children.

How does the EITC work?

By reducing a person’s tax liability or total tax liability, an earned income tax credit reduces tax liability. Plus, it’s refundable, so if a person’s tax credit exceeds their liability, they get the difference back. Nearly 79 percent of eligible individuals, or about 23 million people, received the EITC in 2019, when the data was not skewed by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. That year, the total cost of the program was $71 billion, according to the Internal Revenue Service.

Depending on your filing status and number of children, the income credit for the 2023 tax year (2024 taxes reported) could be between $600 and $7,430. Listed below are the maximum Income Tax Credit amounts for 2023 and the maximum amount you can earn before losing the benefit entirely.

Earned Income Tax Credit Eligibility

One work credit that can reduce your federal tax bill or offer you a refund at tax time is the Earned Income Tax Credit, but the main requirement is a job that pays you money. The credit can eliminate any federal taxes you owe at tax time, and you can get an extra amount back from the EITC on your tax return if it exceeds your tax liability. Even if you don’t owe income tax, you’re still entitled to a refund if you qualify for the credit. The annual household income of a single parent or head of family applicant in the tax year must be below one of the following threshold, depending on the number of their children. To participate in the EITC, taxpayers must:

  • Make money during the tax year.
  • Earn less money than the stated income ceiling ($57,414 in tax year 2022).
  • You have less than USD 10,300 in investment income during the tax year.
  • You must have a valid social security number and US citizenship.

How much EITC will I get?

The United States Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is a tax credit that depends on both your income level and total income. Or I can say that as your income decreases, so does the amount of credit you qualify for. For families with three or more children, the maximum Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) for the 2022 tax year is $6,935. The maximum amount given to families with two children is USD 6,164. The most one-child families can receive is $3,733. The maximum credit for families without children is USD 560.

How to claim the EITC for a previous tax year?

The EITC income limits change every year, so even if you weren’t eligible before, you can now get the credit and get a refund this year. Before you prepare and file your tax return, you can use the 2023 U.S. Earned Income Tax Credit calculator to find out if you’re eligible for the earned income tax credit and how much you’ll get.
