Question

Will the unemployment tax break make me eligible for the full amount of the child tax credit whereas when I filed I only qualified for partial?

It depends on your numbers. TurboTax is updated for the unemployment tax break. Try the amend process. See whether the break made a difference.

 

How do I amend my 2020 return?

 

The child tax credit is line 19 of Form 1040. Click on Tax Tools in the left column. Then Print Center to view your Form 1040.

 

The IRS says you DO NOT have to file an amended return if your only additional refund is from unemployment. You DO have to file an amended return if the unemployment break increases your child tax credit.
