Why I can’t get the EIC if my income is under $63 k

Are you married filing jointly with 3 or more dependents?  Then you would be eligible if your 2023 Adjusted Gross Income is $63,398 or less.

 

Go to this IRS website for the EITC table for tax year 2023 - https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/individuals/earned-income-tax-credit/earned-income-and-earned...

It depends.  As  DoninGA mentioned, your filing status, and family size among other factors can affect your eligibility.  Other factors that could disqualify you at your income level could be:

 

  • If your filing status is Married Filing Separately 
  • If you have less than 3 Qualifying Children
  • If you have an investment income of more than $11,000
  • If you have Foreign Earned Income
