I noticed the same, and it's a terriby designed form/prompt. I worked through the Forms view and the place to actually check this box is in Part IV of the Information Worksheet (Info Wks) form, which is the Earned Income Credit Information section.
I don't qualify, but went ahead and checked yes for this, and completed the other parts of the section. It did nothing to the taxes due, but did check that box on the 1040.
The EIC section of the interview still just says "It turns out you don't qualify for this credit"
So if you're obsessive and hate seeing a box unchecked that, via the prompt, should be checked, that's how you can do it. It doesn't change anything else.
