If you are not claiming the Earned Income Credit (EIC) it doesn't matter whether the box is checked or not. There is no reason to amend your tax return just to check or uncheck that box. It doesn't affect anything except the EIC.
While it is true that you should not need to amend your tax return just to be sure that box is checked, for future reference, the question comes up after you have finished the Other Tax Situations section and before the Federal Review. There is a page that is titled, 'Let's take a second look at your info' and the checkbox is at the bottom of that page.
