ProSeries is saying an 80 year old with non-taxed social security and $1700 in earned income qualifies for EIC.
I had to check the box in the info worksheet that says "Taxpayer has been notified by IRS that EIC cannot be claimed in 2021". Should I have had to do this or am I missing something?

Youre missing something.
They took away the EITC age cap, senior citizens with low earned income qualify now.
So appreciate your quick replies.
When I did the worksheet on the IRS.gov/EIC, it said because of Adjusted Gross Income limit, he didn't qualify for EIC????
W-2 $1726
Pensions $9036
SS $21678
$10762
"I had to check the box in the info worksheet"
Is that true? Or, you are trying to bypass it? I would uncheck that, if it doesn't apply.
WAS TRYING TO BY PASS - I UNCHECKED IT
I went to IRS.GOV/EIC again and entered my numbers as they say. I added Social Security from Box 5 as they instructed. They don't say to add on "taxable" Social Security. They have an adjustment line, so I backed out the SS on that line, and if finally agrees with what you said. He gets the EIC!!
Thanks for your patience.
