Yes, I would file another 1040X. On the 1040X in the section that asked about what you have received, report what you have received in total the $200 and the amount of EIC received. This should show that you are still owed the $981.
You should be able to do this in TurboTax by overriding amounts if it does not correctly report them. You might not be able to e-file the 1040X, but you should be able to prepare it through the program.
- Lines 1 through 12 of the 1040X should be the same as previously submitted.
- Line 13 should only have an amount if you had something on this line previously otherwise leave it blank.
- Line 14 would be the amount of EIC you received.
- Lines 15 and 16 should only have something on them if you had something on them previously, otherwise leave it blank
- Line 17 total of lines 1 through 15, Column C plus Line 16.
- Line 18 should be the total over everything she has received today, any original refund, the $200, and the EIC.
- Line 19 should equal the $981 that you calculate as still being owed.
- Line 20 is should be blank.
- Line 21 and Line 22 should show the $981.
- Part III you will need to provide an explanation as to why you are filing the amendment. Just something to the extent that after removing the unemployment the amounts of EIC and child tax credit changed and the amendment is to claim the remaining balance owed per the amended return.
You may or may not be able to e-file this return. If not, you will have to print and mail it in. If you have to mail the form, make sure you provide a copy of the additional child tax credit Form 8821.
