How can I change the number of qualifying children from 1 to more than 3 for my EITC?

You have to add dependents in the My Info section of the program.

Click on My Info on the left side of the online program screen.

 

To be a qualifying child for the EITC, your child must be:

or

  • Under age 19 at the end of the year and younger than you (or your spouse, if you file a joint return)

or

  • Under age 24 at the end of the year and a full-time student for at least 5 months of the year and younger than you (or your spouse, if you file a joint return)

How can I change the number of qualifying children from 1 to more than 3 for my EITC?

And.....even if you have more than three children you cannot get more EIC.  The limit is EIC for up to three children.
