If you are eligible for EIC it is added automatically to line 27 of your Form 1040.

Look at your 2024 Form 1040 to see the child-related credits you received

You can look in the Deductions and Credits Section, then You and Your Family, then Earned Income Credit (EIC) to go over your earned income credit (EIC) entries. If you are due an EIC,  it will appear on line 27 of your Form 1040. 

 

To view your form 1040 and schedule 1 to 3:

 

  1. Choose Tax Tools from your left menu bar in TurboTax Online while working in your program
  2. Choose Tools
  3. Choose View Tax Summary
  4. See the Preview my 1040 option in the left menu bar and click on it
  5. Choose the Back option in the left menu bar when you are done
