Sure. I didn't know how it worked either until I learned to prepare taxes.

Essentially, when taxpayers file a return and don't get all their money back (or have to pay) there is obviously a surplus of funds. This money is then distributed to lower income individuals and/or families. Hence, a tax subsidy. I hope this explanation helps out a bit. If not, let me know.

Let me further clarify (for others) that I do not really agree with the EIC; however, I am not going to raise a fuss about it either. I would prefer to help those less fortunate directly rather than in this manner. This would make me feel better because then I would know I was helping someone who really needs it. For example, just because someone claims EIC does not mean they are poor. They could have the financial support of a sugar daddy (or momma) and still take your tax dollars and mine. I don't mean to be blunt but it is true. I have seen it happen. I guess if we lived in a world where everything was fair, I wouldn't be talking about this situation.
