Turbotax says no to Earned Income Credit, IRS says yes; watch out Turbotax users!

Turbotax Premier 2021 said my son did not qualify for the Earned Income Credit because of his age. After filing, he got a letter from the IRS saying that their records show that he does qualify for it. He was asked to review publication 596 and then submit a form to get the credit which he did.  Clearly he qualifies for the credit, which we would have never known had the IRS not contacted him about it.  So much for the Turbotax guarantee of a maximum refund.  Watch out Turbotax users!
