Earned Income Credit—-the rules are back to the “old” rules—

Those under 25 and over 65 without children are not eligible as they were uniquely in 2021. And you cannot use your income from any earlier tax year to get the EIC for a 2022 return. There is no “lookback” for 2022. EIC for 2022 will be based on the income you earned by working in 2022.

Is your age 25-65? Are you a dependent?

How do you know it is not being refunded to you?

The earned Income Tax Credit IS refundable, but if you have a tax liability, the credit may not show as a refund.

For example, if you have no tax liability and a $100 EIC credit, you will get a $100 refund.

With the same credit, if you have a $50 tax liability, (you would owe $50 without the credit,) the one hundred dollar EIC credit will give you a $50 refund.

With the same credit, if you have a $150 tax liability, (you would owe $150 without the credit), the one hundred dollar EIC credit will lower your tax bill (what you need to pay) to $50.

The credit is not allowed in you are Married but filing Separately.
