Are you filing a married filing jointly tax return? If so, each taxpayer must report earned income. To check what has been entered in the program:
- Go to Federal / Wages & Income / Your income / Job (W-2).
- Click Edit / Add to the right.
- At the screen Your W-2 info so far, the summary will show the name for each W-2 as it was entered.
IRS Publication 503 page 4 states:
You Must Have Earned Income
To claim the credit, you (and your spouse if filing jointly) must have earned income during the year.
