    Verify your w2 shows Utah wages and verify you qualify for EIC on the federal.

     

    Utah does offer 20% of the amount on your federal tax return for state EIC with these rules:  

    You may claim a Utah earned income tax credit equal to 20 percent of your federal earned income tax credit. To qualify you must:

    1. qualify for and claim the federal credit in the same tax year, and
    2. earn Utah income that is reported on a W-2.

    Did you do both of these things?

     

    To qualify you must:

    1. qualify for and claim the federal credit in the same tax year, and
    2. earn Utah income that is reported on a W-2.

    In my test, it calculated the credit at 20% of the federal amount automatically.
