The message is saying you don't qualify for the Earned Income Credit.
The 2023 general eligibility rules for the EIC are:
- Taxpayers must file as individuals or married filing jointly.
- If married, you, your spouse and your qualifying children must have valid Social Security numbers.
- If you do not have a qualifying child, you must also be at least 25 or older but under 65, not qualify as a dependent of another person and lived in the United States for more than half of the year.
Although the EIC typically is considered a credit for low-income filers, there are many variations of income, filing status and number of qualifying dependents that affect eligibility. For example:
- In 2023, a married couple with three children and adjusted gross income of $63,698 or less could receive up to $7,430.
- A qualifying individual that has no children may receive up to $600.
