Rule 12 only applies if you don't have a child that meets the relationship, age, residency and joint return test. TurboTax claims I "have a dependent who doesn't count as a qualifying child for the earned income credit (EIC)" which is an incorrect statement because the children meet the four tests for qualifying children for EIC. Unlike child tax credit, a qualifying child for the earned income credit does not have to be your dependent. That's why I'm here.
What boxes do I check to take the earned income credit?
