Preparing an individual return for a person who died in February 2023. Would otherwise qualify for EIC. Is he considered alive for the entire year to take the credit?

@Dusty2 I hear it is a little warm today.  Thought I would give you a little treat to help you stay cool.

@IRonMaN I think Dusty is here in Pennsylvania and it has been excessively hot here for the last 3 or 4 days and will continue into the weekend. I just gave Heidi a few scoops of vanilla ice cream. Heidi has manners, she eats out of the scoop.🐕☝

Good for Heidi.  I was hoping Dusty wouldn't try sharing chocolate with her, even though I don't think he would since chocolate ice cream is his favorite food.  It just barely beats out his second favorite food ------- lutefisk. 🤢

@IRonMaN this forum's email messaging isn't working. Maybe the heat fried one of their computers.

The notification thingy is hit and miss lately

@IRonMaN  Thanks!  mmmm, so good. 

It has been so hot here the dairy cows have been giving evaporated milk!

Is it so hot here the chicken have been laying hard boiled eggs!

If you want to continue with your stand up comedy, I'll loan you my drummer.  The drum adds a lot to the act.
