Latest_2010 Form W-5
Description
Use Form W-5 if you are eligible to get part of the earned income credit (EIC) in advance with your pay and choose to do so. See Who Is Eligible To Get Advance EIC Payments? below. The amount you can get in advance generally depends on your wages. If you are married, the amount of your advance EIC payments also depends on whether your spouse has filed a Form W-5 with his or her employer. However, your employer cannot give you more than $1,830 throughout 2010 with your pay. You will get the rest of any EIC you are entitled to when you file your 2010 tax return and claim the EIC.
If you do not choose to get advance payments, you can still claim the EIC on your 2010 tax return
