Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hi @mchurch1218 If you are amending to use the 2019 income, I believe you will need to prepare an amended return for this purpose.  I have not found anything stating that the IRS will automatically adjust the returns to use the 2019 income instead of the 2020 income for the EIC credit.

If you have access to Turbo Tax Live I would suggest setting up a call and getting some assistance to see if you would qualify for a bigger refund.
