Roll Eyes Ummm,Vick? I don't know where you got those figures from but they are incorrect.You may only claim 2 kids on EIC and its $1,000 for each child. No one gets more than $2,000 back for EIC.

You absolutely can. You can claim 3 kids and get (depending on the income) $3600. I can't remember the exact cut off for each amount. There is a minimum and maximum. But, yep. You can.
Frankly the most difficult thing about reporting these people I work with (NOT friends with) is figuring out which last name they're filing in. They use several. And which kid they're claiming themselves. (Also use different last names from the baby daddy). And which neighbor they've loaned the kids to.
The tax service I worked with has since had several offices here in Birmingham busted for doing this very thing - BUT they were encouraging the people to file the EIC, helping them figure out how to get the highest refund and taking part of it as pay.
And the company obviously did NOT know which ones we turned in that we knew the details about. But I've heard more of them laughing and bragging at work here that I can't turn in cause who knows what name and/or kdis names they're using.
Jnzgl, I worked there 10 yrs ago, but the girls are still figuring out how to get that refund. But you are exactly right. YOU have been there and seen it, huh?
How about the boys coming in to file and claim their children and CANNOT SPELL THEIR NAMES?!!!
