IND-167 e-file error

'EarnedIncomeCreditAmt' in the return must be zero if an amount is entered. The e-File database indicates the taxpayer is not allowed to claim Earned Income Credit.
You'll get this error if, according to the IRS e-File database, the Taxpayer isn't allowed to claim the Earned Income Credit (EIC).

Solution

To electronically file this return, you'll need to suppress the EIC.
  1. Go to the
    EIC
    screen, in the
    Credits
    folder.
  2. Mark the
    Not qualifying for earned income credit
    checkbox.
  3. Re-create and retransmit the return.
  4. If you want to claim the EIC for the taxpayer, contact the IRS at 866-255-0654 for more information.
    note
    You'll probably need to paper file the return with Form 8948.
