There is a misunderstanding that when you go on unemployment, only your wages count for the earned income credit (EIC). That's not the way it works. The earned income credit is first calculated (actually looked up in a table) on your earned income then it is calculated on your total income (AGI), including your unemployment compensation. You get the lesser of the two calculated EIC numbers. See the 2017 EIC table at: <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://apps.irs.gov/app/vita/content/globalmedia/earned_income_credit_table_1040i.pdf">https://apps...>

No. Your tax return is based on the total income made for the whole year. Not by the time.

Never heard anything about that. If you get unemployment insurance it is taxable. If you had a 401k and took it out you can avoid the 10% Early Withdrawal Penalty if you were 55 when you stopped working there but the distribution is still taxable.

As indicated above, your tax return is based on the total income made for the whole year.

There is no online chat. You are posting on a user to user message board.
You cannot use Turbotax for nonresident tax returns. How long were you in the USA?

Since you lost your job in November, your 2017 US income won't be much less than if had worked until Dec 31.
