Question: what is the minimum requirement for earned income credit?
Answer: You must have at least $1 of earned income (pensions and unemployment don't count). Your 2020 investment income must be $3,650 or less. You can't claim the earned income tax credit if you're married filing separately. You must not file Form 2555, Foreign Earned Income; or Form 2555-EZ, Foreign Earned Income Exclusion.
