I won't be able to e file my return -- what turbo tax says is:
it looks like you have a tax situation in our federal return that makes it ineligible for e-filing, according to irs rules
Details: your earned income tax credit is based on non-documented earned income
Don't worry even though you are unable to e-file your return, we will still help you file your return by mail.
Problem: I do not want to mail I want to e-file -- how do i correct this even if I remove the earned income tax credit, which i do not know how to
I had a K1 which I documented with no other income except for stimulus and unemployment. Can you tell me where I can remove the eic?

Go back to the EIC section of the Deductions & Credits tab and if you chose to use the 2019 earned income  then choose to NOT use the 2019 amounts and only use the 2020 earned income amount.

this did not resolve the problem. I still cannot efile.

 i do not understand why my 2020 eic is 6 dollars when I did not have any income but i did have a home heating credit. Also I have an llc that generated a -1248 loss.

Wondering how I can remove the 6 dollars eic credit seeing that there is no income through my personal.
