Who qualifies for the Earned Income Tax Credit?

The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is a refundable credit for low-to-moderate income workers. For 2024, income limits range from about $18,500 (no children, single) to $66,819 (three or more children, MFJ). You must have earned income, a valid SSN, and meet investment income limits ($11,600 max). The maximum credit is $7,830 for three or more children, making EITC one of the most valuable credits for qualifying families.
