1.  In this Form, you must answer questions to determine if the taxpayer has Earned Income Credit. Should there be an answer that ends with STOP or NO, then the taxpayer can't have the EIC. We want an answer that won't end with 'STOP/No.'

The below scenario has two qualifying kids and has EIC.
So, you'll see that the taxpayer has an Earned Income Credit of $3602 for two qualifying dependents. You can also check the EIC by clicking the Return Summary and then the  Federal Income Information, as shown below.

After entering EIC, next is entering the Child Tax Credit. Look for the Form 8812. The software will just lead you to where you need to fill in or answer a question. Mostly the cells are calculated already. So for this example, the taxpayer's income was not affected by the pandemic, so it's a NO. That's all for CTC form.
