    The EIC is based on your income. Your dependent( brother) may help you get a larger tax credit but it is not based on any of his income... Go to the tax booklet earned income table and follow the instructions to calculate the credit

    Babynette:

    Your brother meets the criteria for the EIC if YOU made $33,241 or less in 2007.
