Are they different or are they the same thing? Can you get both?
I live in CA
I am a single mom of a 3 year old
I made 10,500 in 2007
I paid 760 in federal
128 in state
I tried the H%26amp;R block calculator but it didn%26#039;t give me a child tax credit.. Why?
Can you get earned income credit AND child tax credit? Or is it the same thing?
They are different. It%26#039;s possible to get both, it just depends on your income.
The Child Tax Credit only reduces your tax. With your figures, you wouldn%26#039;t have any tax liability after subtracting your standard deduction and personal exemptions. No tax = no credit.
EIC on the other hand is fully refundable and increases your refund. Your EIC would be about $2850.
And you didn%26#039;t make enough for the Additional Child Tax Credit.
Can you get earned income credit AND child tax credit? Or is it the same thing?
they are different, but with the child tax credit there are certain stipulations in order to get it. last year and the year before i had to go to the office and file mine because the website wasnt working right on the child tax credit part.
