Turbo tax said my wife and I do not qualifiy for the two wage earner credit. I do earn the majority of our income but my wife adds around 24 Thousand of income from pensions and annuities. Not sure why we would not qualify for the two wage earner discounts through the state of South Carolina.

When entering the W2's did you make sure you entered hers as her name and yours as your name?

There is an option to select who the W2 belongs to right before you enter your W2, if you both had W-2's be sure one is assigned to you and one is assigned to her. You can check this by clicking Federal>>Income and then looking at the W2 summary.

Regarding South Carolina two wage earner family deduction, my husband and I have income on K-1s. Turbotax is showing that we are not eligible for the two wage earner deduction. Is there an income limit for that deduction? Pls provide more details.

Thank you.

There is not an income level over which you will not qualify for the deduction, but it only applies to earned income, such as wage or self-employment income. It doesn't apply to unearned income such as income reported on a K-1 schedule.
