EIC (Earned Income Credit) refund amount - will I get all of it back?
Just checked my transcript and saw I qualified for EIC this year. Does this mean I get that whole amount back as a refund? Or does it just reduce what I owe? Never had EIC before and trying to figure out what to expect.

Tax pro here - The Earned Income Credit is fully refundable, which means you'll get the full amount even if you don't owe any taxes. It's designed to help low to moderate income workers and families. The amount you get depends on your income and number of qualifying children.

omg thank you! That makes so much sense. Do you know how long it usually takes to get the refund?

Usually 21 days if filed electronically, but can take longer if there are any verification delays with EIC claims.

Hey guys, instead of guessing about refund timing, I've been using taxr.ai to track my refunds. It analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening and when to expect your money. Worth the $4.99 tbh https://taxr.ai
