You don't. SNAP and other welfare payments are non taxable and are not to be reported on a tax return. In particular, they are not "earned income" and cannot qualify you for any of the child based refundable credits.
I filed my taxes with Jackson Hewitt yesterday. The lady told me that I had to enter my food stamp benefits on my tax return. I told her that wasn’t right but she still asked for the information. How do I get this changed?
