In the case of tax year 2022, it must be noted that the Build Back Better Act (BBBA; H.R. 5376) passed on November 19, 2021 extended the 2021 expansion of the earned income tax credit (EITC) through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA, P.L. 117-2) for taxpayers without qualifying children for one year—2022. So, BBBA extended the maximum credit available to childless tax payers to $1,502 from $600 and also brought in relaxation in age for the claimants.

The general rule on the age of the low-income earner is that the minimum age should be 25, and the maximum age of the claimant is 64 years. The ARPA, or American Rescue Plan Act relaxed the age for the tax year 2021. This was extended to the year 2022 through BBBA.
