Retirement tax questions

Why are you getting these benefits?  Retirement?  Inheritance?  Something else?  You should have received a tax form either a 1099-R or something to report the benefits.  If you did not get a 1099 or something similar, you would need to contact the plan administrator to get one to report on your return.

EIC?  Earned Income credit?  No, that is not included in the standard deduction.  In order to claim the EIC, you must have earned income and meet the income criteria.
