I came to United States on May 27 2019 as a first time green card holder . On July 11 of the same year the rest of my family joined me here in USA.

since then we never traveled back.

under the the green card test am I allowed to claim the earned income tax credit for 2019?

my earned income until December 31, 2019 is $18,000.

@Mahmoudelnahtawy

You are posting in an old already-answered thread from last year, so most people might not see it. I'll see if I can attract someone to this thread who might be familiar with foreign filing situations.

@pk Are you able to assist here when you are next in the forum? Thanks!

@ Mahmoudelnahtawy You may have missed the 180 days rule test. You said your family joined you on July 11, 2019. Based on that fact, you may not qualify to file for EIC.

Re: I have a question to ask

pk — Tue, 28 Jan 2020 03:53:11 GMT

@Mahmoudelnahtawy , the above answer needs a little bit more --- you may be eligible for EITC ( assuming you are filing jointly with your spouse and that all of you have SSN . See the following page at www.irs.gov--->

https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p5334.pdf

The limitation would be regarding your qualifying child ( he/she would not have been in the USA, in your home for at least six months. As suggested , however , if you have more on this , please start a new thread ( this is a very old thread ).

I also need information, about whether or not I'll receive stimulus. I do not qualify as a dependent because I am 24, not disabled, and make more than $4500 yearly but I mistaken filed on my 2019 that I can be claimed as a dependent. Legally, I'm not a qualifying dependent, should I still expect one?

CatinaT1 — Tue, 14 Apr 2020 17:07:46 GMT

You will need to amend your return to change where you noted you could be claimed as a dependent.

Question about 2020 W-4

@gdpaull

If only one spouse uses the new form 2020 W-4 and you file jointly, you have the risk that your tax withheld could be either too high or too low.

If the withholdings are too high, then you will have a larger refund at tax time (and lower take-home paychecks during the year).

If the withholdings are too low, you could incur a penalty for underpayment at tax time.

Re: Question about 2020 W-4

pk — Fri, 19 Jun 2020 03:57:34 GMT

@gdpaull , having gone through your post and the response from @MinhT1 , while I agree with her answer , I would like to add a little. If your spouse is a wage earner, she MUST file a W-4 -- required for each wage earner. What you can do is to adjust the total taxes withheld-- i.e. the two W-4s should be sufficient to cover the total wages for the year ( each pay period ). IRS has a calculator for this -- see https://www.irs.gov/individuals/tax-withholding-estimator

What law requires is that the expected tax liability be withheld-- however people often allow the employer to withhold more , so as to get a refund at the time of filing.

Note that if your spouse does not file a W-4 with her employer, then the employer is obligated to withhold as if she was single ( generally leading to higher refund at filing but less cash during the year )
