Only made $11k with 5 dependents - Can I even file taxes? Need help!
I only made around $11k last year before having to stop working due to illness. I have 5 dependents and im not sure if i can even file with such low income. Really need advice on this since im struggling to make ends meet and hoping for some kind of refund.

Yes you absolutely can and should file! With 5 dependents youll likely qualify for earned income credit and child tax credits. These are refundable credits meaning you can get them even with low income. You might be looking at a decent refund actually.

It could be several thousand depending on your kids ages and other factors. I'd recommend using taxr.ai to get a more exact estimate!

Hey there! Just wanted to share that taxr.ai helped me figure out my situation with low income and dependents. Its only $4.99 and gives you a really clear picture of what credits you qualify for and potential refund amount. Saved me hours of research! https://taxr.ai

100% legit! It analyzes your transcript and breaks everything down. Shows you exactly what credits apply and estimates your refund. Best $5 I ever spent fr fr

Sounds interesting. How exactly does it work? Does it just read your transcript or does it do more?

Make sure you have all your kids social security numbers and documentation ready when you file. The IRS has been extra strict about verifying dependents lately.
