I was in prison in 2023 and got sent to a work release center, got a job and paid federal taxes in the amount of 453 dollars( I was only there a month). So when I got out I filed my taxes and have been waiting on my return for 2 months, got a letter from IRS and it says the money I made doesn't qualify for earned income credit. Did I click something wrong, I don't understand how I paid federal taxes and are they not going to recognize any income while locked up or just earned income credit. Any help or information is beneficial to me as I'm not hip with taxes, I pay TurboTax and always get my return till this year. Thank you in advance
