Hi,
If you are eligible to claim that earned income credit, you can try to amend your tax return to earn that credit.
If this was done in TurboTax online, scroll down to tax home and select the tax year, then select amend using TurboTax online. Then go through the prompts, until you eventually get to deductions and credits. Then go to the section titled, "your home and your family." You can go through the earned income credit section from there.
If amending doesn't result in a refund, no need to amend. If it does result in a refund, then go ahead and finish the amendment. If it asks you for a reason to amend, state "to claim the earned income credit."
If this was done in TurboTax desktop, go to other tax situations, and select the amend return option.
If this was done in a prior year like 2021, we may need to send you a download to see if amending the return benefits you. Please call us at 1-800-446-8848 if you need further help.
Thank you,
