Again, I need to use the earned income from 2019 to claim EITC for 2020. When I complete the EIC worksheet I get a message that I can't e-file the return based on unsubstantiated information. Is there a way around this? It contradicts the encouragement to do everything possible to file electronically.

That message seems to occur when there $0 of Earned Income in 2020. Is that true in your case?
I suspect that is a program error, and hopefully they will fix that. You might be able to ignore the message and disable error-checking when you e-file it.

You are correct; the cllient had zero earned income in 2020. Let's hope it is a fix by intuit. Thanks for the thoughts.

Or is there a Schedule C loss involved? IRS encouragement of electronic filing is trumped (pardon the term) by IRS encouragement to question every EIC claimant as a tax cheat.

No Schedule C loss...........all 2020 income was from unemployment compensation.
