How to unclaim the Earned Income Credit
TurboTax provides me with Earned Income Credit which I do not want to claim.
In TurboTax, there is no option to unclaim this credit in an appropriate way. I read other discussion posts, but none of them works
Here is what I tried:
(1) For the TurboTax online, I deleted 8862 form in the Tax Tools -> Tools -> Delete a form. I cleared the cache and refreshed the page, however, it does not work
(2) I also deleted "Earned Income Worksheet" and "Earned Income Credit Worksheet" in the section of "Delete a form" page. However, even if I clicked on "delete" button to remove them, these two forms are still there. I tried it many many times. very very tired ....
(3) From other discussion posts, I did not find any other related form that I should delete
(4) One post said we could answer an interview question by choosing " I got an IRS notice saying that I can’t claim the Earned Income Credit in 2021". However, is it ok if I did not get the letter actually? Will it trigger some negative consequences?
So, are there anything I should do to unclaim this credit? Appreciate it if someone could help
I really hope TurboTax could add an option for our users to directly unclaim the credit in the interview questions of the EIC part.
Thanks!
