Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Are you sure you have a refund and not a tax-due amount that is decreasing?    Also, your Earned Income Credit might be decreasing by more than your income tax decreases from doing the adjustment.   Check your EIC before and after making the adjustment.   If adjusting the income in the Other Reportable Income section is causing your EIC to decrease by more than your tax (Line 16 of Form 1040), remove the adjustment.
