Does the t/p have interest, dividends or rental income over the EIC limit?

Under age 25, claimed as dependent, etc... Try "EIC in a Nutshell"? https://www.irs.gov/publications/p596/ar01.html#en_US_2015_publink1000297316

How old is this person? If under 25 or 65 or older no EIC.

Someone over 65 with a qualifying child can still get the EIC if he or she meets the other requirements.

 Thanks, Judy for that reminder.  I usually don't see that situation.

does the person have a ss number? Does the person live in the United States?  Does the person have Earned income. I love when my clients ask question without giving me some information, BUT I love it more when it comes from a tax professional.
