taxpayer received IHSS payments that have $0 on his W-2 box 1. These IHSS payments are not taxable incomes. when enter W-2 with $0 taxable wages, Lacerte gives critical warming. And, no earned income tax credit generated.
In 2020, taxpayer had IHSS incomes and small interest incomes; spouse had $0. Are they qualified for earned income credits? If yes, how do I generate EIC for this client?

I can answer the first part of that question ... yes, it is optional to use that as Earned Income.
As for how to do it in Lacerte, I don't know. In ProSeries there is an EIC worksheet that you can use.
