Will Care’s act early 401k withdrawal amount be added to EITC AGI?

[DoninGA]

The withdrawal from a 401(k) is a taxable event so the taxable portion of the distribution will be added to your other income and taxed at your current tax rate.  Yes, it will affect your EITC eligibility.

[Opus 17]

Because a 401(k) withdrawal is considered unearned income, if the amount is more than $3650, you will be disqualified from the earned income credit even if your total income is not over the absolute limit. These rules and limitations were not modified by the CARES act.

[Critter-3]

Unemployment is not considered investment income and will not disallow the credit by itself however it does come into play for income limitations.
