Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If you have income earned from working and you have entered the information about your qualifying children dependents correctly, the EIC is added to your return automatically.

 

Make sure you have entered your child as a dependent in My Info, and that you have entered the child's Social Security number.    Careful— do not say that your child’s SSN is not valid for employment.  If your child was born in 2024 make sure you said he lived with you the whole year.  There is an oddly worded question that asks if the child paid over half their own support.  Say NO to that question.
