Disability and the Earned Income tax credit isn't giving credit?
I've been doing this person's taxes for quite a few years. He has 2 children and is disabled with a code 3 on his NYS Retirement 1099R. Every year since it's a code 3 and he is only 52 the program adjusts it and makes it accountable as earned income and not retirement. So the earned income credit does apply and always have. This time it won't .. even though the minimum retirement age is 55 yrs old and he hasn't reached that yet. I am wondering if there is an error in the program. I investigated it on the IRS site and doesn't look like any thing has changed from the past years to this year.
I do remember years ago there was a problem with the college credit.. then corrected late March. Wondering if this is problem with the program as that was. . Any help or ideas would fully be appreciated.
