Lines 38a and 38b-Earned Income Credit (EiC)

What is the EiC?

The EiC is a credit for certain people who work. The credit may give you a refund even ifyou do not owe any tax or did not have any tax withheld.

To Take the EiC:

• Follow the steps below.• Complete the Earned Income Credit (EIC) Worksheet inthese instructions or let the IRS

figure the credit for you.• Ifyou have a qualifying child, complete and attach Schedule EIC.

For help in determining if you are eligible for the EiC, go towww.irs.gov/eitc and click on "EITC Assistant." This service is available in English and Spanish.

Ifyou take the EIC even though you are not eligible and it is determined that your error is due to reckless or intentional disregard of the EiC rules, you will not be allowed to take the credit for 2 years even if you are otherwise eligible to do so. Ifyou fraudulently take the EiC, you will not be allowed to take the credit for 10 years. See Form 8862, who must file, later. You may also haveto pay penalties.
