TurboTax will automatically add the EIC form if you are eligible. Please see the qualifications for the EIC: What are the qualifications for the Earned Income Credit (EIC or EITC)?

 

The most common reasons why people don't qualify for the EIC are:

  • Their AGI, earned income, and/or investment income is too high
  • They have no earned income
  • They're using Married Filing Separately
  • Their dependent doesn't meet the qualifying child criteria (if claiming one)
  • They're too young or too old (if not claiming a qualifying child)

There's a bunch of other qualifications that must be met. See the full list.

You do not file for the EIC.

 

If you are eligible for the EIC, TurboTax will calculate the EIC for you and include it in your tax return.

 

Please read this TurboTax article on the qualifications for the EIC in 2022.
