Do I qualify for the Advance Earned Income Credit?

You qualify if you: There are some instances when you should not apply for the Advance EIC:
  • You do not have Social Security or Medicare taxes withheld from your paychecks
  • You are self-employed
  • You have more than one job
  • Your spouse works (unless you both take advance payments)
  • You expect that your income could change a lot, either going up or down
Look Out
If you no longer qualify for the Advance EIC, you will have to pay back all funds received when you file your tax return.
