Why would I choose to receive my DC EIC as a lump sum payment?
For 2023 returns, if the total amount of your DC Earned Income Credit (EIC) was more than $1,200, the refund of this credit was split into 12 equal monthly installments instead of being part of your tax refund as a onetime lump sum payment.
For 2025, you can choose to have the entire credit paid with your refund instead of having it split into monthly installments. Having the credit paid out in monthly installments may disqualify you for any SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) or other federal benefits you would normally qualify for. To prevent this, you can choose to have the full credit included in your refund.
