Error in Dependency/EIC Smart Worksheet; TT won't allow me to correct

JT Delaware — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 04:14:38 GMT

I've entered most of my tax data. The Dependency/EIC Smart Worksheet has an X in box "Yes" on Line D, asking if my dependent was married on December 31, 2023. I have gone back to the Info in TT and verified that I selected "No" for that question, but regardless how many times I check it and go back to the worksheet, the worksheet still says "Yes" to the married question, and the Dependency credit is disallowed.

Is this a TT error? If not, how do i fix this?

This is not a condition that I have heard of before.

If repeated attempts to correct have not been successful, you may need to delete the dependent for whom the wrong information is being reported and re-enter.

Pay close attention to the re-entry to make sure that no errors are entered.

That worked! I deleted all of her info and started from scratch with her and now the form has the correct box checked. Odd. But Thanks!
