I am wondering how I go about amending my tax return I already received notice from the IRS that this was my mistake.
@juliannsmith2188 - before attempting to correct, let's see if it is even worth it. From what I understand the IRS is sending letters indicating that you MAY be elgibile for additional EITC, but for many they are not.
1) what is your AGI on Line 11 of Form 1040 of your 2021 tax return?
if it ABOVE the appropriate number on this table, you won't get any additional EITC by using the 2019 earned income. (If ncessary, I can prove it later if you answer the additional questions below for me) , so submitting another form would not be necessary as the IRS would deny the additional EITC in any event.
Single / HOH/ MFS / Qual Widow | Married – Joint | |
0 Children | $9,800 | $9,800 |
1 Child | $10,600 | $10,600 |
2 Children | $14,950 | $14,950 |
3 Children | $14,950 | $14,950 |
2) what is on Line 27a for Form 1040?
3) what is your filing status on your 2021 tax return?
4) how many children were listed on your 2021 tax return?
5) what is your 2019 earned income from your 2019 tax return? (for most this will be the wage line only)
