I don't think so. You could do the calculations... they're in the tax form instruction booklet... and see, but I'm pretty sure off the top of my head that the Child Tax Credit is limited to your tax liability, and if it's higher, you don't get the extra "money" back.
When you do not have any qualifying earned income you do NOT get any income tax return refund.
Yes this is very possible. The type of earned income your filing status and even a possible refund of any withheld income taxes.
Any federal or state agencies (including student loan and child support) have the right to take any amount due from your refund. It has nothing to do with EIC and they have the right to take the whole refund you are due if you are in default or have a judgment against you.
Yes. My husband and I filed our federal refund jointly (mind you he was behind 3K on child support) and they took it all of what he owed. BUT, I went back and filed out an 'Injured Spouse Form' to get back what i earned.
No. Child support is generally based upon the obligated parent's monthly income from wages and any other source. A tax refund is not always for the same amount nor always applicable and therefore could not be counted as an income source. A tax refund can be seized for child support arrearages.
If that was their only income, then they probably do not have to file a federal return. But remember both earned and unearned income counts. State tax requirements vary by state. But if they had any income tax withheld, they should file in order to get a refund.
You do not have to report any income tax refund on any tax forms, it is not income.
No, you have no obligation to share your tax refund with anyone (unless of course you are married and filing jointly). If you file jointly, file an Injured Spouse form with the IRS to recover your share of the tax refund. Contact the child support agency in the State that intercepted the refund about recovering your share of the State income tax refund. His paying child support did NOTHING to either increase or DECREASE the tax you paid on any income you had. Nor did it change the amount he paid on any income he made. If you worked, or had other income, and hence paid income taxes on it but overpaid your estimate (or had too much withheld) which is why you have a refund.......ask him to please pay YOU half of what it was you actually paid! It would seem your child's father is....how does one say this ....an idiot!
Yes any income that you work for would be earned income.
You are not allowed to claim a child on your return if the child does not live with you and if you do not provide over half of their support. They must also be your child or related to you in certain ways. If all of these tests are not met, then you are not allowed to claim the child and if you do, you will have your refund taken and if they find out later you will also pay penalties and interest. More penalties can be placed on you that eliminate you from receiving any earned income credit for up to 10 years.
NOT for any of the current tax years you would have to have some type of earned income that you worked for in order to qualify for any of the available tax credits for the tax year 2009.
No its not taxed. When you receive your refund, you will notice that their nothing withheld from your refund of any sort. You definitely do not have to report your refund to the IRS-its your money that you earned.
