Can I claim the EIC if I live outside the USA? I get a 1099 misc from the company I work for and don't receive income from sources outside the USA.

Can I claim the EIC if I live outside the USA? I get a 1099 misc from the company I work for and don't receive income from sources outside the USA.

If you do NOT have a qualifying child, then you are NOT eligible for EIC.  Your home (and your spouse's, if filing a joint return) must have been in the United States for more than half the year.

Please read this TurboTax FAQ for additional information on qualifying for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC): What are the qualifications for the Earned Income Credit (EIC or EITC)?
