Note: For Tax Year 2021, the eligibility for single taxpayers with no dependents was widened for more people to qualify; the calculator below accounts for this. Additionally, the IRS allowed taxpayers to use their 2019 adjusted gross income if it was higher than their 2021 AGI. You may use this in the calculator to compare the results.

When done with the EITC Calculator, use the 2021 tax return estimator to calculate and prepare your taxes. You can also use all the other 2021 tax calculators before loading up the free downloadable 2021 IRS forms before you mail in your taxes.

If you need to claim the EITC for a previous year for the first time or by filing a tax amendment for an accepted return, start by determining your eligibility with these calculators below.
