Be prepared to deal with the Kiddie Tax. 
The IRS doesn’t pay any attention to custody agreements. The couple can’t just alternate HOH irrespective of who is actually the custodial parent. Is this what is happening?
And Vanguard changed everyone from their mutual fund to their brokerage platform so you may be seeing double the tax forms.

CA renter’s credit only if: Your California income was: $49,220 or less if your filing status is single or married/registered domestic partner (RDP) filing separately $98,440 or less if you are married/RDP filing jointly, head of household, or qualified widow(er) I would think someone paying 60K for rent has an income exceeding those restrictions. 
Software is correct. If he could have been claimed then no stimulus. Kid, on his return, must say that someone else can claim him, even if they choose not to claim him.

Any advanced child tax credit?
You might have to uninstall and reinstall the program.  https://proconnect.intuit.com/community/proseries-tax-discussions/discussion/printing-problem-with-proseries-pro/00/61313  
Yes, the no longer dependent gets the stimulus and no, the parents do not have to pay it back. 
The charity has to be based in the United States and you must do substantial charitable work to deduct those expenses.

While correcting the deduction on 8 f, California still has a problem. California calculates eligibility for EIC based on the federal AGI. Since the federal AGI is reduced by the unemployment deduction some taxpayers will newly be eligible for CA EIC. California has not yet given any guidance about this issue. 
The taxable amount of social security is not affected by the unemployment income deduction. That was part of the law. 
Just so I am clear. The deduction does affect the AGI with respect to calculation of Earned Income Credit?

Assuming passage of the new stimulus bill the increase in CTC applies to 2021. But the forgiveness of tax on the first 10K of unemployment income is effective for 2020 returns. Anyone have any idea how this will be implemented?  A lot of amended returns?
TurboTax would not have allowed the stimulus had the child checked the box saying that the child could be claimed by someone else. By not doing that the child filed a fraudulent return. 
TurboTax has announced that e filing of this form will be supported. They plan to have it available March 11 as a tentative date. 
This is a known issue and has been reported but no fix yet. 
I am under the impression that 7202 can be efiled in TaxSlayer. Can anyone confirm that?
The EITC increases with earned income to a point and then decreases as earnings increase. So depending on where the client is on that curve using the higher earned income might be an advantage.
