I MISTAKENLY SKIPPED EARNED INCOME TAX CREDIT HOW DO I GO BACK AND CLAIM IT?

If you are eligible TurboTax will calculate the Earned Income Tax Credit for you and enter it on the federal tax return, Form 1040 Line 27a

 

You can view your Form 1040 plus Schedules 1, 2 and 3 at any time using the online editions. Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen. Click on Tools. Click on View Tax Summary. Click on Preview my 1040 on the left side of the screen.

  2. Select Tax Tools from the menu, then Tools.
