Decscription:
The Earned Income Credit (EIC) is a refundable tax credit that has a significant impact on United States revenue and, in the 2020 tax year, amounted to about $60 billion claimed by more than 25 million tax filers. In a recent year, 153.8 million individual federal tax returns were filed, and 19.6 million12.7% of individual taxpayers claimed the Earned Income Credit. Based on that percentage, it would not be unexpected that any tax return preparer will prepare the tax returns for many EIC claimants.
