Why do we ask this question?
We use your total household earned income from 2022 to calculate your federal tax credits, like the Earned Income Tax Credit.
Earned income means money you made from a job. For example: W-2 income, 1099 income, tips, other wages, side hustles or self-employment income.
What doesn't count: Social Security benefits, interest earned from a savings account, unemployment compensation, SNAP benefits, etc.

Let's pause.
Without earned income, you won't be able to claim federal tax credits this year. Here are some other ways we can help you this tax season:
- See if another adult in your household can claim your children to get your 2022 federal credits;
- Find federal tax credits from 2021 if you haven't filed your 2021 taxes (even if you didn't make money you might still be eligible for credits);
- Match with a bank account that fits your needs.
