Usually, the EIC automatically calculates if you qualify, AND THERE'S ENOUGH INFORMATION ON OTHER WORKSHEETS AND FORMS TO KNOW.so make sure you didn't already receive it before you make any changes in the return.  The credit would be on line 17 of your new 1040.

If it's not there, you can amend the return, but need to wait until your original return is accepted and processed, and your refund received.  The amended return does not catch up with your original and change it.  The two are processed completely separate, the amended must be filed on paper, and it can take the IRS up to 16 weeks to process it.
