Once the EIC has been calculated and incorrectly can it be undone on TurboTax?

I have non taxable combat pay for last year and I was given the advice on the site to mark it as income effectively removing the Earned Income Credit. It will not let me undo this on the site.

Yes, to exclude as income, go to:

 

  1. Federal
  2. Deductions and Credits
  3. You and Your Family
  4. Earned Income Credit

As you navigate through the screens, there is a screen that asks if you wish to include your combat pay as part of your income, change this answer to no. Here is screen i am referring to.
