Ok...a little confused......?

Question

For the MD earned income credit for your children.....does that come in with the tax returns or is it a seperated refund that is sent later in the year????

Answer 1

earned income credit should be included in your federal return - as far as i understand it's not an amount you get back it's an amount that is subtracted from taxes you owe... and so it could result in a larger refund, but i don't think it means you are getting that amount back.

Answer 2

If you are talking about the federal EIC and you live in MD, then the amount comes as part of your refund, not separate and  later in the year.
