Deductions & credits

If your AGI excluding the unemployment compensation meets the threshold, you will qualify.  Click here:  AGI requirements.  Earned Income for ETIC does not include any unemployment compensation.  However, your AGI amount will decide the amount of EIC you are entitled to at the end.  

 

If you did not claim EIC on your original return, you would need to amend to re-claim.  I am attaching an IRS link that explains it, click here: IRS update on unemployment compensation
