rla20cpa Posted February 2, 2022 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 Has anyone had any issues with the 2021 Sch EIC populating (i.e. Line 4a)? As such the program is not calculating the EIC. This particular client has a $7,200 Child Credit and qualifies for a $5,000 EIC per the chart. Form 1040, p.2, line 27 has the obligatory "no" next to it. Would rather not override. Thoughts?

rla20cpa Posted February 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 p.s. Technically Worksheet A is not populating. Almost the exact facts and circumstances as 2020 when EIC was $5,920. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacun Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 Check all the entries on "dependents" on 1040. EIC line 4a is populated based on your selection on the Dependents tab. Don't override anything, rather see your answers on form Sch EIC on both Qualifying child and EIC question. I will bet you will find the/your mistake.

rla20cpa Posted February 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 FWIW, under "EIC questions", Step 3, #5 ......... "Are you legally separated ........" - If I choose "yes", it will compute the credit. The taxpayers, in fact, are not separated. Maybe a context issue?

Pacun Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 Read carefully questions 2, 3, 4, and 5. If you answer those correctly, the credit will be calculated if the person qualifies. If it doesn't calculate, it is because TP doesn't qualify or the Tax preparer is not jumping to question 6 as instructed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
