Earned Income Credit--Just Checking

[Super Mom]

Just double checking, I have ATX software and is usually top notch, but on this ladies EIC questions, I had to override the check for the AGI amount, no child. I don't like to over ride stuff, she does meet all the qualifications, I double checked all I can find is retirement income (1099-R) is not investment income right?


This is off subject, in tax season I often do taxes in my sleep all night, last night I was so tired I didn't do that, but I did dream I went fishing instead of working today, think there would be some disappointed folks?

I have not had to override

I also use ATX, and have not had to override on any EIC. She did have earnings, right? And, you are correct, retirement is not investment income. (But, it's not earnings.)

No, they will understand.

Dumby me! I figured out why I had to override, didn't answer the first set of questions about a valid SS#, etc.

Been there, bought the T-shirt.

I am ready to go fishing with you. Today.

Wouldn't that be fun?!

Yes!!

Wouldn't that be fun?!

I actually bought a new rod and reel Saturday when I was in Wally World (yeah, it's that good) with my 17-year-old son. I am psyched. Have not been fishing since last summer.

Just one more day! Have fun!!
