Can unemployed mom get tax refund?

Unless you paid federal and state taxes you cannot get a refund. Many people make the mistake of thinking they can file taxes simply to get the earned income credit. They are wrong. It is called the earned income credit because they earned an income. So unless you worked at some point over the prior year you cannot get the earned income credit. And unless you paid taxes in then you have nothing to file or claim.


When did earned income tax credit start?

It was enacted in 1975, but has seen many revisions over the years.


If you earned income for the whole year while in a penal institution do you still file income taxes?

Sure. The fact that you were incarcerated does not exempt you from filing income taxes and paying tax on your income. It does prevent you from claiming many of the tax credits such as Earned Income Credit, Child Tax Credit as you cannot claim that you supported your children or that they lived with you during this time.


Does unemployment compensation wages affect earned income credit on your taxes?

Yes, it can. However, it cannot help you, only hurt you. First of all, for 2009, the first $2,400 of unemployment compensation is not taxable, so it doesn't affect your taxes in any way. Above $2,400, it is taxable and increases your AGI (adjusted gross income). The earned income credit (EIC) phases in at 40% of earned income until it reaches the maximum credit. (See the IRS link below for specific amounts.) Unemployment compensation does not count as earned income, so it does not increase your credit. After you max out the credit, it starts to phase out as your income increases. The income amount used here the greater of your earned income or your AGI. Therefore, if your AGI is made up only of earned income and unemployment compensation, your EIC will be reduced because of your unemployment compensation. There are many other items than can increase or decrease your AGI, including interest income, IRA contributions or withdrawals, student loan interest, and many more. So you could potentially offset the unemployment compensation with other deductions from AGI, such as contributing to an IRA. (Of course, you probably don't have the cash for that if you're collecting unemployment.) Here is a link to the EIC figures for 2009 (at the bottom of the page): http://www.irs.gov/individuals/article/0,,id=150513,00.html ***** Unemployment does NOT count towards your EIC because it is not EARNED. Your UC is applicable to federal taxes only. The IRS EIC calculator takes UC into consideration although it is not correct.

Can you claim more than 3 dependents?

You can claim as many dependants you can prove that you did support. However you can only claim the EIC(Earned Income Credit) on up to 3 qualify children.

Auto Loans With No Credit?

There are many people who have suffered lower credit scores during the current economic upheaval, so it is possible to secure auto loans with no credit. Lenders understand that a person has to have a chance to establish credit. Most people that do not have credit are young people entering into the buyer's market. Other people that may need to get auto loans with no credit are spouses that have not established credit during a marriage. Lenders will look at a few factors to determine whether a person qualifies for the loan. First, the person needs to have adequate income to cover the expenses. Next, the person does not need to have debt that exceeds their income.
