What-if Worksheet" re: child tax credit & earned income credit error - IF you are not claiming the EIC, I have found a workaround
This only works on the desktop version as far as I can tell. IF you are not claiming the earned income credit in any way, shape or form, to fix this and file you must:
switch to forms view (up at the top, in the blue bar)
Navigate to the "EIC Worksheet" form
About a third of the way down, you should find a section titled "Election to Use 2016 Earned Income for Eligible Hurricane Victims Smart Worksheet"
Line A - Elect to use ... - check "no"
Line B - Taxpayer is eligible - check "no"
Line C - Earned Income for EIC from your 2016 return - set to zero
Return to Step by Step view, and continue through the process. It should allow you to e-file when you get to the end. It just worked for me.
