Good Morning all!  Ok, I have a 22 year old, single, no children.  He only made about $15K at a W-2 job but he cashed in stocks for a total of $78K.  His cost basis, short term, was $83K.  Does he still qualify for the EIC?  That just seems wrong to me.  I think I'm just jealous because there were no CTC or EIC when I was young (with kids).  We each had to work 2 jobs to get money and pay bills.  OK...rant over. 😐
