Yes----that is all true---but that does not mean that your unemployment does not "count" toward your AGI. It counts. If you ONLY had unemployment you would not get any EIC based on the unemployment. But you seem to have income earned from working and some unemployment. You want the unemployment to not "count"---but it does. It is not "earned " income---but it is income, and it adds to your AGI.
And...did you use my suggestion to plug in some numbers to that EIC assistant to see for yourself how the EIC and your AGI is affected when you enter unemployment income?
