Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

Why do I not meet the age requirement for EIC? I was 19 in 2021 and not a full time student. My income was less than $10,000 and I have $0 in investments.

I also qualified on the IRS quiz EIC tool but not TurboTax, I don't know why besides "age requirement" although I was 19.

Go back to the MY INFO section and edit yourself ... make sure you answered your questions correctly.   And the $10K of income ... was it all wages ?

Can you be claimed as someone else's dependent?   If you can be claimed as someone else's dependent you are not eligible for EIC.
