Get your taxes done using TurboTax

HI,

This helped, thanks. I have one question though.

We are able to successfully follow the step wizard, while we were unable to claim Earn Income Credit. 
As per turbo tax  EIC can't be claim if you have Foreign Earn income, ( we have only income via foreign salary), while turbo tax allowing child credit.

Is that correct or I we are doing something wrong ???  (no EIC)

 

Background:

1. US citizen leave abroad for full year.

2. Marriage filling jointly

3. Only income is foreign Earned income (salary) $15000 approx.  (under 24k limit)

4. Two kids.

 

 

 

EITC Qualification Assistant. tool on IRS website, showing eligible of EIC. 
Some article showing not eligible if not live in USA more then half year.
