I am having the exact same issue. I called Turbo Tax and spoke to a person. I told that person that I am being forced, by Turbo Tax, to mark the EIC IL-EITC box. I also told the person that I do not qualify for federal EIC or Illinois IL-EITC. The person tried to figure out why I was being forced to mark the box and he was not able to figure out why. Then he said that if I mark the box, for a credit I don't qualify for, that it will not change my Illinois tax. Then he immediately hung up, he didn't even say good-bye. This call was on March 7th.
