Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes, there's no check box for works full time because the presence of a W-2 satisfies that requirement. 

 

If both of you work and have W-2 forms, no further proof is needed. The check boxes are just there to show why you still qualify when one of you doesn't have any earnings. 

 

If you both have a W-2 in the return and the program isn't giving you the credit, check to see if the ownership of the W-2 forms is right in the program. 

 

Here's how to do that:

 

 

  1. Open you return.
  2. Select Federal, then Wages & Income.
  3. To the right of Job (W-2), select Edit/ Add.
  4. You should see both of your names and your W-2 forms listed below each.
  5. If one of the forms is listed on the other spouse, select Edit.
  6. Select Show employee info. You can correct that here.
