Form 15112: Earned Income Credit Worksheet (CP 27)

Form 15112, Earned Income Credit Worksheet (CP 27), is a one-page IRS worksheet with the notice number CP 27 printed in its title. It asks for contact information, lists four statements about the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) for 2025 in Step 1, and ends with a signature section in Step 2.

The form says to check a box if any statement describes the person or their spouse (if they filed a joint return for 2025). It then says: "If you checked any of the boxes, stop here, you do not qualify for the EITC. You don't need to respond." If no box is checked, the form says to continue to Step 2, which reads: "Sign, date and return this form if you qualify for the EITC."

The form also points to the EITC Assistant at IRS.gov/EITCAssistant before the next tax return is filed. You can fill it out free in your browser on this page and download the result without an account.
