Appreciate the response but if I'm not mistaken the age of 25 applies to Fed/IRS. My situation is related to the CA. FTB (State), which I believe in CA the age is 18. Knowing my Granddaughter is under 18 I can understand why CA FTB disallowed her the EITC but why does TurboTax keeping indicating that she does qualify? I filed her taxes with her receiving the CA EITC only to have it rejected. Does TurboTax have a bug?
Interesting. CA age is 18, but I see nothing on the CA 3514 EIC form that indicated the age of the taxpayer. If there is nothing on the form to fill out then TurboTax will not ask the question. This may be CA's error for not putting a check box on the form to indicate age 18 or more.
But TurboTax probably should not even attach the form unless 18 or older.
