Question

Earned income tax credit

I know I do not qualify for Earned Income Tax Credit. Turbo Tax is putting it on my return and I would like to know how to take it off.

 Can anyone help me with that?

How do you know you don't qualify?   You can go through the Earned Income interview and when done, it will tell you whether or not you qualify and there will be a button you can click on that says ''Explain Why''.  Let me know what the explanation is.

I didn't have everything in. I would qualify if I did not include my husband's income.
