EIC: I had my Medicaid Difficulty of Care wages added in to see if we qualified for EIC, which we didn't. I want to go back, and take my income out, but when I go to Revisit the section, it merely tells me why we didn't qualify. There's no way to change the amount. Any ideas?

You can delete the W-2 for your Medicaid Difficulty of Care Wages.

To delete the Form W-2 that you don’t need:

Open TurboTax
Enter W-2 in the search bar
Select Jump to w-2 link in the search results
Select the trash can icon to delete the W-2.

Refer to the TurboTax article How do I change my W-2 info in TurboTax? to delete your W-2.

That's not what I'm asking. When the EIC window comes up, it gives you the option to either include or exclude the Medicaid wages when calculating EIC eligibility. The problem is that I had them use my Medicaid wages to see if we qualified, but using the income automatically puts us over the limit and disqualifies us. The second that happened it took over $1000 from our refund.

I wanted to go back and click the radio button to EXCLUDE my wages, but when I click the REVISIT button it merely shows a screen that says we don't qualify and there's no way to start the section over.

Sometimes the button does not reappear, so if you follow SharonD007 instructions to delete the W-2's, you can delete them and then re-enter them but do NOT select that you want to include the income this time.
