Deductions & credits

It depends. To claim the EIC:

  • you must have earned income AND
  • your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) must be below the applicable limit.

It is possible that the reduction of your unemployment income may lower your adjusted gross income for the year and you may be able to claim EIC. To claim, you will need to amend your return after 3/26.
