After you file
1. Don't rely on the summaries in TurboTax. Look at the actual forms.
2. You might have to go through the EITC questions in TurboTax again to get it to recalculate.
3. There is a certain range of income in which the EITC hits a plateau. In that range, a decrease in income does not change the EITC amount. The exact range depends on filing status and the number of children.
4. It doesn't really matter what TurboTax does. The IRS is not using TurboTax to do the recalculation. Wait and see what the result of the IRS recalculation is. The refund that you actually get depends on what the IRS does, not what TurboTax does.
5. There's nothing you can do now, anyway, except wait to hear from the IRS. It might take several months, because you are one of the people with a "more complex" return.
