The Earned Income Credit (EIC) is calculated by the program automatically if the return qualifies for the credit.
To remove the credit from a return that qualifies for it, you need to select the item that disqualifies your return or check the box I don’t want to or cannot claim the earned income credit this year. To select why your return does not qualify for the Earned Income Credit, follow the steps below.
