For example, I know a single mother that took one of her earned income credits and got a boob job with it. |
How is that abuse. An earned income credit is a tax issue, which may have lead to a refund which she may have spent on a boob job. But there is no way to directly spend an earned income credit on a boob job. Did she file her taxes and W2 with fraudulent EIC information?
