Question

I think I found a bug on Form 8812, Additional Child Tax Credit--Year 2020

The purposes of this post is to get someone from ProSeries to take a look.  On the Form 8812 when the box is checked to use 2019 earned income.  I think that amount should populate Box 6a, Earned Income.  Right now that it not happening.  This is an easy fix.

 

In addition, I would note that you cannot elect to use the 2019 earned income for EIC WITHOUT electing it for Form 8812.  Currently the software allows this impermissible condition to occur.  There is only one election that applies in two places.

 

Good luck with this tax season!

Thats a new thing for 2020 so I would imagine it will take some time to get it fully functioning.

We'll been seeing many more program updates before IRS opens for Efiling, plenty of time.

@IntuitAustin  is anyone making notes for things like this, and passing them onto the proper department, just to be sure therye not overlooked?

Wasn't worried at all.  Can you add this bug to a list somewhere that somebody is maintaining?
