Turbo Tax Issues When trying to claim EITC
- I run my tests to see that I am qualified for the EITC credit for 2021. I qualify for the credit due to my self-employment earnings on my K-1 from my business for 2021. I am not using income from 2019 or 2020 to calculate the EITC.
- I run the Review and receive the following:
- Let’s Check These Entries
- We found 0 area on your Federal return where we’ll need to review your entries.
- We’ll handle them one at a time.
- I run Check Entries
- I receive the message “We Won’t Be Able to E-file Your Return
- It looks like you have a tax situation in your federal return that makes it ineligible for e-filing according to IRS rules.
- Here are the details:
- Your Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is based on non-documented earned income.
- Don’t worry, even though you are unable to e-file your return, we’ll still help you file your return by mail.
- I run Smart test and get this message: “Congratulations! We reviewed your federal return and found no errors”
- When I try to file our returns I get this message:
- Marty & (my wife name), You cannot E-file These Returns
- Federal Return Issue: This return has certain forms that can’t be e-filed, usually because of tax regulations. So you’ll need to print and file by mail. For more details, select the Review tab, continue and select File by Mail.
