EITC Earned Income Range Checker
Independently applicable EITC earned-income interval; no credit eligibility from earned-income alone (AGI/children/status external). Caller independently establishes matching units, evidence, method edition and applicability; output is not compliance, diagnosis, work-safety approval, geological identity or validated hazard prediction.
Description
An earned-income range is only part of an EITC review.
An earned-income range is only part of an EITC review.1

When to use EITC Earned Income Range Checker
Use this tool when you need to reproduce the stated calculation from measured records or independently selected model inputs. Establish jurisdiction, tax year, applicable authority, and eligible amounts or evidence before entering values. Minor-unit amounts use one currency; 12345 means 123.45 when that currency has 100 minor units per major unit. One basis point is 0.01 percentage points.

- Enter earnedIncomeMinor, callerApplicableLowerMinor, callerApplicableUpperMinor, following the field table and rules below, then run the tool.
- Read signedEarnedIncomeRangeMarginMinor, callerRangeScreen. Use the output meanings below to interpret units, signs, flags, and any nested result fields.
- Correct reported input issues and run again. For a successful result, check the stated evidence coverage and assumptions before using it in your review.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| earnedIncomeMinor | Earned income minor | number | Required |
| callerApplicableLowerMinor | Caller applicable lower minor | number | Required |
| callerApplicableUpperMinor | Caller applicable upper minor | number | Required |
Use nonnegative safe-integer income and ordered nonnegative lower and upper amounts in the same minor unit. Return the smaller distance to either boundary; nonnegative margin means inside the inclusive range.
margin=min(income−lower,upper−income); inRange=(margin≥0) Symbols follow the input and output meanings and the calculation rules above.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |

}Limitations and assumptions
Eligibility, rates, dates, definitions, and exceptions are independently supplied facts. The arithmetic is not a complete return calculation or a determination of tax liability.
Missing required fields, unknown fields, wrong types, and violated calculation rules are input issues. Numeric values must be finite; nonfinite results are rejected.
Alternative or Complementary methods
For a related review, use Filing Status Dependents Tree Picker: Filing-status review combines marital, dependent, and household facts. This checker applies your positive evidence requirements and keeps multiple possible classes when the evidence is incomplete. For a complementary step, use Child Tax Credit Phaseout MAGI Checker: A stepped child-credit phaseout reduces credit for each started increment above an applicable MAGI threshold. That staircase differs from a smooth linear phaseout.
