She would not be qualified for the EITC with that income. She would only be receiving a refund if taxes withheld are more than she owes.

Also, keep track of any and all expenses related to your job so that you can deduct them on your tax return. For example, if you’re a teacher or therapist, keep receipts for all your out of pocket purchases.

I didn't say anything about a EITC.
I was trying to understand why OP is trying to figure out - because 'how much tax will we pay' is probably the wrong question to ask for an employee. What will our net income be on each paycheck is probably more useful.

Being that she mentioned property taxes, I assume she wanted to know her tax liability on her tax return, but I may be mistaken...

In my experience - come tax return time - most employees are just looking to see if there is a refund coming - not so much about total taxes already paid via withholding.
OP is likely sleeping ..

Child tax credit. Not EITC. She's eligible.

that would be considered in the calculation of the withholding from the paycheck (if the W-4 is completed correctly)... so it shouldn't generate a refund. (that poster was responding to my comment about getting a refund).
