    Answer: The answer is $5,828

    Explanation:

    Jim wages = $26,500, Linda wages = $16,805, Todd gross income was $3,100

    Since Todd gross income is below the level in which he his expected to file a tax return, his parents cannot claim his income on their tax return. Their adjustment gross income AGI = $26,500 + $16805 = $43,305

    Since the tax credit given is bases on the number of children, and for two children the maximum earned income tax credit is $5,828 for income below $52,493 Since their AGI is $43,305 below $52,493 for married filling jointly The amount of their earned income tax credit is $5,828
