Question

Filed without EIC.

Apparently I filed without adding EIC. I only saw the question pop up while doing my State returns but I had already filed my federal. Now my total return is half of what it would be with EIC.

What can I do to resolve this?

    Well guys it appears if you did what I did somehow (even though I've used turbotax for 7 years now and no issues) you're just going to be **bleep** out of luck. It's over. Goodbye to your EIC. At least until you can amend it and that will take pretty much an entire year and even then you'll likely get nothing. What a joke.

    Good luck if you're like me and were sitting here hoping to get some money to buy a car so you can get back to work. Just more **bleep** for poor people like me to get **bleep**ed over by everywhere I turn.
