good basic review of all the rules for earned income credit including the forms accompanying the credit for due diligence and from former errors. Explained in concise fashion.

This was a good course. We seldom see the earned income credit in my practice, but it is good to have this information for the few times we use it.

Great review of the EIC changes for 2021 and beyond. The case discussed was very enlightening relating to Preparer Due Diligence.
