Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hi syedHarisali,

 

Check the IRS EITC assistant again. When I ran your situation, it shows you do not qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit because your children did not live in the US for more than six months.

To be eligible for EITC, your child must live in the same home as you in the United States for more than half of the tax year. The United States includes the 50 states, the District of Columbia and U.S. military bases. It does not include United States possessions such as Guam, the Virgin Islands or Puerto Rico.
