Taxpayer and spouse were audited for EIC. Documents were sent in. Taxpayers and children has valid SS cards.

IRS disallowed saying taxpayer and spouse do not have naturalization (citizenship) papers.

I thought as long as taxpayers and children are residents (pass the physical presence test) will be eligible for EIC

I don't deal with EIC issues often, but one of the requirements is that one cannot be a non-resident alien for any part of the year in which one claims the EIC. An exception is if they are married to a US citizen or RA and file a joint return with that person. I don't know how that fits into your client's circumstances.

as long as children and spouse has valid social security nos. and work authorization you are eligible for EIC. To claim EIC, only condition is valid work authorization.

Thanks

There is no citizenship requirement for EIC. However, not all resident alient qualify for EIC. Only those taxpayers and qualifying children who possess valid Social Security nubmers will qualify.

I recommend speaking with the agent's supervisor.
