Earned Income Credit Certificates

Specify the number of earned income credit certificates to which the employee is entitled. The number of earned income credit certificates is used in payroll calculations to determine how much earned income credit should be advanced to the employee. These are the valid options:

• 0 no EIC credit
• 1 single/married with one EIC certificate
• 2 married with spouse also filing certificate

Specify 0 in the EIC Credits field when no earned income credits are to be paid. Zero is the default value for this field.

The EIC amount to be advanced to an employee is calculated based on tables found in IRS Circular E (Supplement) of the Employer's Tax Guide.
