I quickly let him know he will not be filing for EIC this year or any year he.lives under our roof as he does not need it. If the IRS decides to file it for him it will be sent back. He still doesn't get it even after I explained that "free" money he thinks he deserves comes from hard working people like me and his dad. And since we already pay all his bills we have contributed enoug to his care and feeding this year and he is not going to profit any further from our largesse.

Let him file his tax return & claim the EIC; Then YOU change the locks on YOUR house and let him make it on his own with the EIC. Regard's, TK
