Deductions & credits

Follow these steps:

  1. Open to your IL return
  2. Continue through until you see take a look at IL credits and taxes
  3. Locate IL earned income credit,
  4. Start/ enter 'update /revisit
  5. The program will then state that you do not qualify for IL EIC.
  6. While in that screen, switch to FORMS mode
    1. If you are in the IL EIC, great. 
    2. If not, go to the top left Open Form, select IL, select EIC and open
  7. Look for pink boxes showing an error and correct them.
  8. Return to step by step and try review again.

I have created a return that does not qualify for EIC. The IL EIC form is showing in my return. Each child has a box checked for eligible, since the children are qualified to get the credit, just the parent is disqualified due to income.

If the issue persists, please contact support.
