Question

CA EITC

I cant seem to find an answer as to why turbo tax is saying my son doesn't qualify for the CA EITC when his income is less than 30K and he qualified for it the last two years. According to the list of qualifications, he should qualify. the income is from a W2 and he has lived in CA his whole life.

ok. I was just going by the basic requirements when you check the franchise tax board info on CA.GOV site which says 30k max but his income is less than 21K as well. If I use the chart on the FTB CA.gov site, he should qualify. I'm thinking there is something turbo tax is missing or a glitch in their program. His tax info is very basic. just the W2 from the job he has had for a few years. nothing else.

Are you claiming your son as a dependent?

If you are claiming him, he does not qualify for the credit.
