취업비자도 잘하면 되겠네요.

집사람과 조인트로 하지 않는다면 말이지요.

집사람은 h4로 ITIN을 갖고 있거든요.

Q2. Who can claim the credit?

A2. To claim the EITC on your 2003 tax return, you must meet all of the following rules:

1. You must have a valid social security number that allows you to work.

Additionally, to claim the EITC, you must have a Social Security Number (SSN) for you, your spouse (if filing a joint return), and your qualifying child.

A SSN is a number issued by the Social Security Administration to a U.S. citizen or to a person who has permission from the INS to work in the United States.

You cannot get the earned income tax credit if the SSN was issued solely for use in applying for or receiving federally funded benefits.

You cannot get the credit if, instead of an SSN, you, your spouse, or your qualifying child has:

• An Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), which is issued to a noncitizen who cannot get an SSN, or;

• An Adoption Taxpayer Identification Number (ATIN) which is issued for a child to adopting parents who cannot get an SSN for the child being adopted until the adoption is final.

2. You must have earned income during the year.

3. Your earned income and modified AGI must each be less than:

* $11,230 ($12,230 for married filing jointly) if you have no qualifying children, or;

*$29,666 ($30,666 for married filing jointly) if you have one qualifying child, or;

*$33,692 ($34,692 for married filing jointly) if you have more than one qualifying child.

4. Your investment income cannot be more than $2,600.

5. Your filing status can be any filing status EXCEPT married filing a separate return.

6. You cannot be a qualifying child of another person. If you are filing a joint return, neither you nor your spouse can be a qualifying child of another person.

7. Your qualifying child cannot be used by more than one person to claim the EIC.
