The EITC is based on the income you earned working in 2024, not your AGI. See the link “What is earned income?” to determine what's included in your earned income. You indicate that your gross income is $91,561 which exceeds the criteria for earned income if that amount is your earned income.
In addition to having earned income, you must meet other criteria to qualify for the EIC:
- Be a U.S. citizen or resident alien for the entire year.
- Have a valid Social Security number for yourself, your spouse (if Married Filing Jointly), and any children that qualify you on your tax return.
- Not file Form 2555 or 2555-EZ (Foreign Earned Income).
- Meet certain rules if you are married but are separated from your spouse and filing separate tax returns.
- Have investment income below $11,600.
- Your income must be less than $66,819 if you're MFJ ( $59,899 if you file Single, Head of Household, or Qualifying Surviving Spouse).
- If you don’t have dependents, be over 25 and under 65.
- Not qualify as a dependent for another taxpayer.
