EIC Income Limit Question - Making 52k, Do I Qualify?

For 2024, if youre single with no qualifying children, the EIC income limit is $17,640. At 52k you're way over the threshold unfortunately. If you had kids it would be different - the limit goes up to $56,838 for single parents with 3+ kids.

Hey, I noticed you're trying to figure out tax credits. I was in the same boat last month trying to understand all these rules. I found this tool called taxr.ai that literally analyses your whole transcript and tells you exactly what credits you qualify for. It's like $5 but saved me hours of research. Here's the link: https://taxr.ai

have you considered increasing your 401k contributions? That could lower your AGI and maybe qualify you for other credits

52k aint what it used to be tbh. The government needs to update these income thresholds fr

Make sure to check your state too, some states have their own version of EIC with different limits

idk why they make this stuff so complicated lmao just give everyone a break already 🤮
