The IRS has a great tool on their website that helps you figure out if you qualify for EITC (also called EIC sometimes). The program hasn’t been updated for the tax year 2007 yet, but will be soon. Here’s the link that will contain the "EITC Assistant" as soon as it’s released:
Also, TurboTax IS as easy as they make it out to be. I was a TurboTax user for many years. Two years ago, I switched to TaxCut by H&R Block. It’s as good (and easy) as TurboTax, but it costs less. You can pick up either at your favorite retailer.
