Retirement tax questions

It depends. First, double check the selections you made in the 'Personal Info' Section to be sure you indicated your child was disabled. Next review the qualifications in the links below to be sure you do qualify.

Qualifying Child: To count as a qualifying child for EIC, your child must have a valid Social Security number (not an ITIN).

They must also:

  • Be your child (including legally adopted), stepchild, eligible foster child, sibling, half-sibling, step-sibling, or a descendant of any of them (for example, your grandchild or niece); and
  • Be permanently and totally disabled OR under the age of 19 as of December 31, 2024 (under 24 if a full-time student) and younger than you (or your spouse, if filing jointly); and
  • Have lived with you (or your spouse, if filing jointly) for more than half the year in the United States (unless you were in the military); and
  • Not file jointly with their spouse unless they weren't required to file, but did so anyway to claim a tax refund.

Next, it's a good idea to print your tax return before you file so you can review it. You have access to all forms when you choose to print your return in TurboTax Online/Mobile.  However you are required to pay before printing, but do not have to file until you are ready.

If you are using TurboTax Desktop you can switch to Forms and review all forms and worksheets.
