UGH, you should be able to choose whether or not you want to take the credit :( Ridiculous...Thanks for your response!


Well, you can always check a box that disqualifies you for the EIC, but then your tax return would not be a true and accurate tax return and might itself delay the tax return .   In addition, if you qualify for EIC and fail to take it (usually on a paper return) the IRS will automatically add it for you.  That is why there is not op-out option - the IRS dose not have one and TurboTax must follow the IRS guidelines.
