After the change in Unemployment pay, it lowers Taxable income by $10,200. If that is the case, it would make us eligible for the Earned Income tax credit. Do we amend?

If I attempt to amend, it shows that I will get about $1,200 back for unemployment. But then, removing that $10,200 would make our taxable income low enough to qualify for the Earned Income tax credit. When i try to add that to the amended return, it says we make too much. At the final step of filing the amended return, it then shows our taxable income well below the limit for the EITC.
