Entering Advanced Earned Income Credit

[Customer Service]

Advanced Earned Income Credit is a “contra tax”.

1. Go to Payroll/Configure/Taxes.
2. Select US EIC.
3. Configure US EIC and then assign US EIC to employees, as applicable, specifying Filing status and number of Certificates.

The program will then calculate the appropriate income credit during Calculate Payroll.

Many users specify their standard FIT Withholding payable account as the G/L account for US EIC since EIC offsets some portion of FIT payable.
