See your tax return instructions or Pub. 596, Earned Income Credit (EIC), for the year for which you are

filing this form to make sure you can take the earned income credit (EIC) and to find out who is a

qualifying child.

If you have a qualifying child, complete Schedule EIC before you fill in this form.

Do not file this form if you are taking the EIC without a qualifying child and the only reason your EIC

was reduced or disallowed in the earlier year was because it was determined that a child listed on

Schedule EIC was not your qualifying child.

Part I

All Filers

Enter the year for which you are filing this form (for example, 2005)

If the only reason your EIC was reduced or disallowed in the earlier year was because you incorrectly

reported your earned income or investment income, check “Yes.” Otherwise, check “No”

Yes

Caution. If you checked “Yes,” stop. Do not fill in the rest of this form. But you must attach it to your tax return to take

the EIC. If you checked “No,” continue.
