What is Emancipation?
Emancipation means you are legally separated from your parents or guardian and do not have to live with them.
The law in Kansas emancipates you when you are 18 years old.
Having a baby does not make you legally emancipated.
Your parents cannot emancipate you so they are no longer legally responsible for financially providing for you.
It is possible to become emancipated prior to the age of 18, which is called an Emancipated Minor.
Over the last 40 years, Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) made life better for millions of workers. You may have extra money waiting for you. If you qualify and claim the credit, it could be several thousand dollars from the IRS for some workers.
Don’t be the one in five that misses this credit!
The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) helps low- to moderate-income workers and families get a tax break. If you qualify, you can use the credit to reduce the taxes you owe – and maybe increase your refund.
The American Rescue Plan (ARP) temporarily expanded the existing small federal earned income tax credit (EITC) for low-wage working adults without children at home.
They increased the maximum credit and broadened the eligibility to younger and older workers.
This newly eligible population consists of childless adults between the ages of 19-24 and over the age of 65.
The expansion goes into effect this year (for those with earnings in tax year 2021) and will benefit millions of adult workers.
