    so what happens if you thought you qualified and actually didn't? I'm new to this and only filed for it because it was suggested or something while i was filing my taxes this year. i'm only 22 and still dumb when it comes to this stuff so i've been stressed out over if It is considered fraud if I genuinely thought I qualified but didn't. I still do not know if I actually qualified but It would at least be nice to know what happens if I get an email (or if they even email you) at all to inform you of the mistake or if they just punish you for it in some other kind of way without contacting you about it or something.

    Help, I cannot wrap my head around using 2019 Earned income instead of 2020. So If I use 2019 (because I earned MORE income) I probably earned too much, and won't be eligible for this credit. So, I guess I do not understand the benefit of using 2019 earned income. Don't you get more credit if you made less money? Please help, I keep looking into this, but I don't understand it.

    My daughter was born in early June 2021 would she qualify for the credit? I already filed and got my return when I filed early 2022.

    Thank you so much for this information! I do have a question that is very important to me and my situation that I've been stressed about and I just found you and subscribed so thank u for explaining things so well. My question is, if my husband had 39,000 in self employment income (before the pandemic got bad) and then I had only about 1000 then we both went on unemployment, will the unemployment amount count and put us over the income limit? I read that unemployment doesn't count as "earned income" so I am extremely confused about this. Any answers or leads to answers on this would be so so so helpful. We get a nice tax return every year with earned income credit so it would sure be a bummer to not qualify this year due to the pandemic situation. Thank for your time!

    • @pearlperlitavenegas2023
      @pearlperlitavenegas2023 3 роки тому

      Remember that each of you can remove 10k of unemployment from counting as taxable income or any income limit. Unemployment income is never counted as "earned income". Have you filed yet?

    What if my ex gf claimed the EITC and I'm trying to claim my daughter as a dependent? Does that mean I won't qualify for that tax break now? I guess she didn't claim our daughter as a dependent. Just claimed the EITC. This tax stuff is kinda confusing lol

    i did my taxes, because i have an LLC it was applied but not given. i already did my taxes didn't make any money last year because of the pandemic. my wife also i a contractor but made less than 15k. so the credit though applied. it was us actually having to pay ny state 957 and getting $1,876 from federal. so my questions are
    1. is this going to be added and us not getting it!? or 2. do we just close shop get regular jobs so that we CAN get something back. this is the first year that we are actually getting something back.

    If this plan passes, does it replace the current 2,000/child or is it in addition to the current child tax credit?

    • @locumcpa
      @locumcpa  3 роки тому +1

      This would be in addition.

    I filed my 2020 taxes already. I put my 9 month old grandson as my dependent. My tax refund is a lot less than $5,584. Is it because i only worked 3 months of 2020? i received unemployment the rest of year but i had taxes withheld.

    • @locumcpa
      @locumcpa  3 роки тому +1

      It may be due to several reasons including the 3 months of wages instead of a full 12 months.

    • @locumcpa
      @locumcpa  3 роки тому

      In such case, eligibility will be based on your 2020 tax return. Please refer to my latest video for an update on the proposed new child tax credit: ua-cam.com/video/I5ELjCLIhIg/v-deo.html

    Still confused about one thing: My 2019 Earned income is higher than my 2021 earned income. BUT my 2021 Adjust Gross Income is higher than my 2019 Adjusted Gross Income because of unemployment. Does that mean I qualify for it still? Thanks!
