How much refund with $10,800 income and 3 dependents? EITC and Child Tax Credit Question
Made $10,800 last year working part time. I have 3 kids that live with me and I pay for everything. Anyone know roughly what I might get back from taxes? Really need this money.

Tax pro here - with $10,800 income and 3 dependents in 2024, you're likely eligible for significant credits. The EITC could be around $7,830 with 3 qualifying children. Child Tax Credit would be $2,000 per qualifying child (up to $6,000 total), fully refundable if you meet the requirements. Plus, you might qualify for additional credits depending on childcare expenses and other factors. I'd strongly recommend using taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) to analyze your specific situation - it'll break down exactly what credits you qualify for and give you a precise refund estimate based on your actual documentation.

Tax professional here. You likely qualify for EITC and Child Tax Credit. With 3 qualifying dependents and income of $10,800, you could be looking at a significant refund potentially around $7-9k depending on various factors like age of kids and other credits you might qualify for.

EITC returns typically take a bit longer. IRS by law cant release these before mid-February. Plan for 21 days minimum after acceptance.

Hey just wanted to mention I was in same boat last year trying to figure out my refund. I found this tool called taxr.ai - its $4.99 but totally worth it. You upload your transcript and it tells you exactly what to expect and when. Better than guessing tbh https://taxr.ai
