Why does it say I cant e-file because my EITC is based on non-documented earned income? Can it be fixed or is it due to the new eitc rules? using 2019 income for 2020.

To clarify, is your K1 income from a S-Corp or partnership?

I have a Partnership LLC and not a Subchapter S Corp.

Did you enter your K-1 with income in box 1 and when asked answer that you are actively and materially participating in the operation of the business?  This should be all you need to do for LLC income to be used for the EITC.

 

Clarification....

 

Is your error coming from TurboTax before you submit or is it being rejected by the IRS?

 

Do you have other types of income?

Are you using your 2019 income for the Earned Income Tax Credit? 

If yes, did you file a 2019 tax return?
