After you have entered your personal information, dependent(s) information, and all of your income, TurboTax will determine whether you are qualified to claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). As you go through the process of completing your return, you should be prompted to answer some additional questions to be sure that you meet all of the EITC qualifications. If you qualify, the EITC will be included as part of your tax return. It is not something that can be filed on its own.
If you did not see any additional questions and want to go directly to the EITC section of your return, use the following steps:
- On the top row of the TurboTax screen, click on Search
- This opens a box where you can type in “EIC” (be sure to enter exactly as shown here)
- The search results will give you an option to “Jump to early EIC”
- Click on the blue “Jump to EIC” link
You can also go to the Deductions & Credits > You and Your Family > Earned Income Credit (EIC) and click Start to go through this section.
