I am using a non-TT tax software to file my taxes. My income and dependents all fit qualifications for EITC. My investment income which is just rental income ( a rental building that is leased to my own business ) is over-the-limit to qualify for investment income. However, the tax software keeps putting me as eligible for EITC and adding it to the refund box. The IRS list says that some rental income counts toward investment income. I am planning to "delete the EITC form" to remove it from my tax filing so that it does not include any EITC funds because it seems like a tax controversy question. So my question is the tax software making that determination because the rental income comes from a rental building that is leasing to a business that I also own?
