Earned income tax credit (EITC)
Up to about $8,000
How Much Is the Earned Income Credit?
Short answer: Yes: working families with modest income get a refundable credit that grows with each child, up to three.
Investment income over about $12,000 disqualifies you.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
