EITC & CTC changes due to COVID Laws

[Mike Polacek]

As taxpayers that receive either EITC or CTC are able to, this year, utilize either their 2020 income or 2019 income to maximize their refunds, it would seem logical that an "tag" of some sort arise if the taxpayer qualifies to use this benefit.

I keep notes for situations like this but it seems like it'd be helpful to have a "reminder" built into the software.  How do you make suggestions?

It would be nice if they made those Yes /No boxes on the EIC worksheet a "pink" error so that preparers dont forget to take a peek at the options available, and choose the Yes or No....I agree.
