NJ EITC calculation

tony_king
Level 2

My tax client is eligible for EIC on the Federal return.  The amount was calculation based upon the filing status and dependents.   When the NJ State form is open, the EITC is calculated at 40% which is correct.  However, there's a question on the form which ask if the EITC was calculated on the Federal return.  When the button is click indicating yes, the NJ EITC is removed.   I checked the NJ website and I did not see where the tax client would be ineligible for NJ EITC if they received Federal EITC.   Is this a program bug?   Has anyone else encountered this issue?   I also have an open email with the NJ Tax Department.
