I need to use a clients 2019 earned income to qualify for the EITC on the 2020 return. I am getting a message that the return must be mailed in vs electronic filing. Is this accurate? It contradicts the encouragement to file electronically
Again, I need to use the earned income from 2019 to claim EITC for 2020. When I complete the EIC worksheet I get a message that I can't e-file the return based on unsubstantiated information. Is there a way around this? It contradicts the encouragement to do everything possible to file electronically.
That message seems to occur when there $0 of Earned Income in 2020. Is that true in your case?
I suspect that is a program error, and hopefully they will fix that. You might be able to ignore the message and disable error-checking when you e-file it.
Or is there a Schedule C loss involved? IRS encouragement of electronic filing is trumped (pardon the term) by IRS encouragement to question every EIC claimant as a tax cheat.
No Schedule C loss...........all 2020 income was from unemployment compensation.
