[IRS Answer] No. Resident aliens with a valid SSN can claim EITC. Also, non-residents with a valid SSN can claim the EITC if they are married to a U.S. citizen or resident alien and they choose to file a joint return and report their worldwide income on that return. That is, they do not file the Form 2555 or Form 2555 EZ to exclude their foreign earned income from U.S. taxes. [Preparer Question]
