number that allows you to work or is valid for EIC purposes?
I am confused about this question. My wife and I are filing jointly. I have
an SSN, but my wife doesn't. So what is the answer of the above question,
YES or NO?
If the question is asked as follows, I know the answer should be NO.
Do you, and your spouse if filing a joint return, have a social security
number that allows you, and your spouse if filing a joint return, to work or
is valid for EIC purposes?

A2. To claim the EITC on your tax return, you must meet all of the following
rules:
*
Must have a valid Social Security Number
*
You must have earned income from employment or from self-employment.
*
Your filing status cannot be married, filing separately.
*
You must be a U.S. citizen or resident alien all year, or a
nonresident alien married to a U.S. citizen or resident alien and filing a
joint return.
*
You cannot be a qualifying child of another person.
*
If you do not have a qualifying child, you must:
o
be age 25 but under 65 at the end of the year,
o
live in the United States for more than half the year, and
o
not qualify as a dependent of another person
*
Cannot file Form 2555 or 2555-EZ (related to foreign earn income)
*
You must meet these EITC Income Limits, Maximum Credit Amounts and Tax
