Areas of Emphasis


Around 60% of all mistakes in EITC are the results of 3 main areas:

1. The child might not meet the age, residency, or relationship requirement.

2. The case might be that someone is filing as single or HOH when he/she is actually married.

3. A mistake might arise when reporting income or expenses. Special attention has to be paid when the client is answering these questions. 


The people who are eligible for EITC:

1. Have earned income

2. Have a valid Social Security Number

3. Are filing separately and not as married

4. Are not a nonresident alien

5. Are not a qualifying child of another person

6. Are not filing Form 2555 or Form 2555-EZ

7. Have limited investment income

Select type of assistance received.

Due Diligence Questionnaire

If you will be claiming an Earned Income Credit, Child Tax Credit, Additional Child Tax Credit, HOH, and/ or an American Opportunity Credit on your 2023 tax return, you must complete this questionnaire.

The United States Congress has, as a reaction to the substantial tax fraud resulting from their original error of choosing to distribute federal social welfare program benefits via the tax return, placed new excessive inappropriate "due diligence" requirements on paid tax return preparers whose clients are claiming certain tax credits. This added to the excessive and inappropriate requirements previously implemented by the Internal Revenue Service, the IRS has forced tax preparers to question and verify that their clients qualify to receive certain credits i.e. EIC, CTC, ACTC, and now HOH.
