Pacun Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 Since you have to use 2019 on both EIC and child credits if higher, be careful because you have to manually select both. on Sch EIC Step 5, 2 you have to check the box. Then go to Sch 8812, 6a and manually enter the 2019 amount. If someone is doing the way I am doing it, let us know. If doing it different, please share. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pacun Posted February 6 Author Report Share Posted February 6 6 hours ago, katri said: AGI is not the same as Earned Income Look at EITC for examples of Earned Income On another post, I suggested that if you didn't prepare 2019 tax return and the TP has different kinds of income, the best is to prepare the 2019 tax return correctly on ATX (from the copy they provided) and then roll over the return to 2020. That way the software will grab only the earned income from previous year. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jrkmbowman Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 Has anyone gotten the ERROR: IRS Business Rule F1040-016-06 when doing this? I have a client that did not have any earned income last year just social security. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Abby Normal Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 By 'last year' you mean 2020? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jrkmbowman Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 Yes, but had w-2 wages for 2019. So using the 2019 PY earned income amount Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Abby Normal Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 That should work, unless the programming didn't allow for a zero current year earned income. Maybe put a $1 for wages on the worksheet for that line? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jrkmbowman Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 I have a call in to ATX but worse case scenario I will be putting in the dollar so it can e-file. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
