wendybooth Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 I am having a brain fart. Old age I guess. I have a client that her children she can calim as dependents but they do not live with her. As I read the EIC she can not take it. But when I enter children as dependents but do not live with her the program still says she can claim the EIC. Which is correct??? anyone else having this problem? also I have her as single not HOH. Please any help is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacun Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 She is single with dependents and she doesn't qualify for EIC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcb39 Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 But she does get the Child Tax Credit if they are under 17. No EIC....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack from Ohio Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Check where you tell the program how many months the child lived with the parent. If you enter 0, it should remove EIC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacun Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 If you enter 0, you will kill the child tax credit. When you answer the questions for EIC, check that the child is not your qualifying child. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
