Can You Write Off EITC Without a Child?
Short answer: Yes: workers 25 to 64 with low earnings and no qualifying child can get a small EITC.
You can't be someone else's dependent.
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.
