When logged into TurboTax Online:

1.) Click on State on the left-hand side

2.) Continue to your New York return

3.) When you reach the section called Take a look at New York credit and taxes, click Earned Income Credit

4.) It will ask you if you were a non-custodial parent, click Yes, and continue through the following pages to answer the questions for your IT-209

In my online version of 2020 TurboTax. There is no "Earned Income" Option in the section labeled "Take a look at New York credits and taxes"

Please advise

Please review your federal return and make sure that you meet the qualifications listed farther below.

• See How do I preview my TurboTax Online return before filing? 
• Verify that you are receiving Federal EIC with a qualifying child as a noncustodial parent. 
• If you do qualify, the program should be calculating it for you. 
• While you are in the preview mode, you can also review your state return.

New York State earned income credit. Taxpayers who claimed or could have claimed the federal Earned Income Credit complete Form IT-215, Claim for Earned Income Credit, to compute the credit.

I understand how to fill the form. I do not have my daughters social security number, the mother does. When I go to the last step to complete and e file it won't let me submit without filling in the number. How can I e-file without the number. I cannot get the SS#. Is there a way to submit without it? 

[CarissaM]

If you do not have the social security number, you will need to file the return by mail. 

[Otmb13]

Just tried to print the state tax to be mailed and got a letter saying 

"New York state requires this income tax return to be filed electronically"

Also says 

"New York state law requires income tax prepared using software to be e-filed." 

What should I do now? Print the papers and fill them out by hand??

[JeanneLO]

You must have the social security for your qualifying child to claim the credit. Please see this information from https://www.tax.ny.gov/pit/credits/nceic.htm
