2.Non filing of return by an individual due to the reason that the individual did not earn enough money during the year to pay tax to the government.
3.Non filing of return by an individual who forgot all about Earned Income Tax Credit.

Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is a refundable deduction which is made as advance payment towards tax that may be owed by the individual. If the tax is not owed, the money is refunded… ‘IF’ the individual files the return for the year!!! For the year 2003, Earned income tax credits are available for an unmarried person who earned less than $11,230 and who does not have any children. Earned income tax credits are available for a person with one child and who has earned less than $29,666. Earned income tax credits are available for a person who has two or more than two kids if he is earning less than $33,692.
