>What makes you think she’s any worse at cutting and pasting than a non single mom?

I don't - I think she's worse and manually copy and writing down the numbers than automated software or a professional accountant.

Cut and paste? Why do you think that she has a computer and her employer gave her access to an electronic portal where she can download her W-2's? My niece is that single-mom with 2 jobs (actually it was 4 jobs, not all at the same time). Last time I helped her with taxes, one of her w-2's was handwritten from her employer.

>EITC does not involve many calculations

But why force her to do any calculations or transcription of numbers at all when the IRS already has them?
