2011 Earned Income Credit
Do You Qualify For The Earned Income Tax Credit?
The federal government may give you free money!
If you are a low income working family or individual, you may qualify for a tax refund, even if you don't make enough to pay taxes.
The government may reduce your tax obligation or even pay you money if you qualify for the Earned Income Credit. If you made less than a certain amount of money in a given year, you may qualify for this tax credit.
If you have children you may qualify for even more. Even if you don't make enough to file a tax return, you may still qualify for the earned income tax credit and get a refund.
You may qualify for up to $5,666

Earned Income Credit Qualifications
To qualify you need to have earned money and have a social security number. If you are married you must file jointly. If you have children, they need to qualify as well. The children need to be under 19 years old or if they are students, under 24. Children with permanent disability may be any age.
