Instructions for Schedule IN-EIC
Here are some important things to know when figuring this credit:
•	 You must be eligible for and have claimed an EIC on your
federal tax return. If not, STOP. You are not eligible to claim
Indiana’s EIC.
•	 Your income on Form IT-40, line 1 (or Indiana’s Schedule A,
line 36A), must be less than $63,398. If it is the same amount
or more, STOP. You are not eligible to claim Indiana’s EIC.
•	 Schedule IN-EIC must be completed and enclosed by all filers
claiming the EIC.
•	 Indiana’s Publication EIC is retired beginning with tax year 2023.

Social Security Number. Your qualifying child must have a valid
Social Security number (SSN) unless the child was born and died
in 2023.*

Caution: You must know what your federal earned income credit
is before you can figure your Indiana EIC. If you don’t know what
your federal EIC is by Indiana’s filing due date, go ahead and file
your Indiana return without claiming the EIC. Then, when you find
out what your federal EIC is, file an amended (corrected) Indiana
tax return to claim your Indiana EIC.

In Section B-1, the ‘Foster Child (not related)’ box (line D) is an
unrelated child who was placed with you by an authorized placement
agency.

If, during 2023:
•	 you were an Indiana resident, and/or
•	 had income from Indiana sources, and
•	 you claimed the EIC on your federal
income tax return, Form 1040,
then you may be eligible to claim Indiana’s EIC.

*Exception. If your qualified dependent child was born and died in
2023 and you do not have a SSN for the child, enter the word “Died”
in the third (largest) Social Security Number box associated with your
child’s name. You must keep a copy of the child’s birth certificate,
death certificate and/or hospital records with your records as the
Indiana Department of Revenue (DOR) may request this information
at a later date. The documents must show the child was born alive.

Caution: Schedule IN-EIC must be filed with your tax return in order
for you to be eligible to claim Indiana’s EIC.

Important: Enter information for the same child (or children) you
entered on your federal Schedule EIC wherever possible.
Example. Marie has four children, three of whom she claimed for
federal EIC purposes. All three children meet the requirements to be
a qualified child within Indiana. Since Marie may claim up to three
qualified children on this schedule, she should list the three qualified
children she claimed for federal EIC purposes.

In Section B-1, the ‘Other’ box (line E) includes a related foster child,
or your brother, sister, stepbrother, stepsister, or a descendant of
your brother and/or sister, etc. (for example, your niece or nephew),
whom you cared for as your own child.
