Traverse City, MI -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/15/2014 -- A new Examiner.com article now explains the earned income tax credit limits for the 2015 tax season. Penned by Traverse City Tax Preparation Examiner Frank Ellis, the article reveals important information as IRS rules change regularly. How much one owes or is refunded depends on these rules and the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is one way taxpayers can save.

The author reveals the EITC was originally intended to get people into the workforce, and has positively impact more than 32 million families. There have been increases in this credit for the 2015 tax season, Ellis says, and the thresholds are explained in more detail so taxpayers can know whether they can take advantage of such opportunities.

Qualifications are now highly dependent on family size, according to the author. Examples highlighted include families with no children, who must earn less than $14,590. For married couples filing jointly, the threshold is a little higher. The article also reveals families with one child can earn up to $43,941 and still qualify for the credit, or $49,186 if filing jointly. With three or more children, joint filers can make up to $52,427 and benefit from this tax credit.

In the article, the author also reveals how much parents can receive, based on how many children they have, their income, and tax filing status. Increases in maximum amounts are reflected. Other details are touched on including the fact the EITC is a refundable credit.
