There is no need to re-enter your Medicaid waiver payments. Because you had already entered the waiver payments in another section of TurboTax, TurboTax already had the information and calculated that you don't qualify for the Earned Income Credit.
It's possible you don't qualify for the EIC because your income is too high. For example, in 2022, if you have 3 or more children who have valid SSNs living with you, the amount on Form 1040 or 1040-SR, line 11, must be less than $53,057 ($59,187 if married filing jointly). If not, you don't qualify. If no children who have valid SSNs lived with you, then the amount on Form 1040 or 1040-SR, line 11, must be less than $16,480 ($22,610 if married filing jointly) in order to qualify for the EIC.
Yes, you were correct to identify that none of the amount in box 1 was a difficulty of care payment.
