Yes i only made 5000 on my w2 and i did qualify for the eic. So when i started the 1040 it made me receive additional funds from my return.
That's fine, at certain income levels, increasing your income earned from work can increase the EIC by more than the tax on the income.
However, it is a slight audit risk because scammers can use fake work to claim EIC. You should save documents relating to your self-employment for at least years from when you file the amended return. Not just proof of payments, but also proof that you did work for the payments, like emails or contacts from the client.
