Child Tax Credit & EITC

Two of the biggest credits for families are the Child Tax Credit and the Earned Income Tax Credit. Eligibility depends on income, filing status, and qualifying children — a human preparer confirms what you qualify for.

Child Tax Credit (CTC)

A credit for qualifying children under the age limit, subject to income limits and rules. It can reduce your tax and may be partly refundable. We confirm eligibility based on your situation.

Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)

A refundable credit for working individuals and families with low-to-moderate income. The amount depends on income, filing status, and number of qualifying children. EITC requires careful due diligence — exactly what a human review provides.

What we'll need

  • SSNs/ITINs for all dependents
  • Proof of relationship/residency if requested
  • Income documents (W-2s, 1099s)

FAQ

Can I get both credits?

Possibly — many families qualify for both. We check eligibility for each based on your facts.

Why does EITC need extra documentation?

EITC has strict due-diligence rules. Getting it right protects your refund and avoids delays.

Will claiming credits delay my refund?

Returns claiming certain credits can face standard IRS processing timing. We'll set expectations clearly.
