I have a return where Lacerte is generating a $15 NYS EIC credit in error.  Return is for a 67 yr old woman, with earned income, no dependents.   If, on the federal Sch A, I select to take the charitable deduction with the standard deduction, forcing NYS to compute an adjusted FAGI on the IT-558, an IT-215 is generated, computing a NYS EIC in error.  Specifically, line 10 of the IT-215 is pulling in a bogus number for federal EIC.  No federal EIC was generated.  The woman is over 65.

It I deselect the Sch A option to claim the #300 charity deduction, the NYS EIC goes away.
