Are you saying that you already filed your tax return?

And you already got your refund?

And you claimed the Child Tax Credit?

And now you want to file an amended return to get the Earned Income Tax Credit?

 

If eligible, yes, a taxpayer can claim both the Child Tax Credit and the Earned Income Tax Credit. 

The Earned Income Tax Credit would have been automatically computed if you used the TurboTax program to file your original return. 

 

Why do you think you did not get the Earned Income Tax Credit on your original return?

What changed where you think now you can get that credit?

Those child-related credits would have been added to your tax return automatically if you qualified.  Look at your Form 1040 to see them.

 

Look at your 2024 Form 1040 to see the child-related credits you received
