Come utilizzare Calcolatore EITC USA 2025 - Earned Income Tax Credit
Insert income from work and investments
Income from work includes wages, salaries, and self-employment income. Income above $11,950 excludes EITC.
Select Statement Status and Dependents
Married filing jointly has a higher income threshold. More qualifying dependents mean a higher maximum credit.
Verify eligibility
The calculator checks income limits and investment income limits, showing the amount of EITC or the reason for ineligibility.
Request Credit
If eligible, attach Schedule EIC to your Form 1040. The EITC is fully refundable: you'll receive it even if you don't owe taxes.
Suggerimenti
- Don't miss out - millions eligible aren't claiming it every year.
- Even self-employed workers have the right: declare all autonomous income with precision (net autonomous income counts as income).
- If you had a child last year, recalculate: adding a qualifying child can significantly increase your EITC.

For 2025, the maximum credit ranges from $649 (no children) to $8,046 (3+ children). It is fully refundable - you get it back as a refund even with no tax liability.
Who qualifies for the EITC?
You must have earned income (wages, salary, self-employment), be a US citizen or resident alien, have a valid Social Security number, not be claimed as a dependent by someone else, file as single, MFJ, HOH, or QSS (not MFS), and have investment income under $11,950.
What is a qualifying child for EITC?
A qualifying child must: be under 19 (or under 24 if a full-time student, or permanently disabled at any age); be your child, stepchild, adopted child, or sibling; have lived with you in the US more than half the year; and not be claimed by another person.
Can I claim EITC without children?
Yes - workers without qualifying children can claim the EITC if their earned income and AGI are below $18,591 (single) or $25,511 (MFJ). The maximum credit is $649. You must be between 25-64 years old and cannot be claimed as a dependent.
