If your want your income to count for EIC, enter it as Wages Reported on a W-2 (EIC = Earned Income Credit). Enter the amount of income you received, even if your W-2 has $0 in Box 1.
Then enter the same amount as a negative entry in Miscellaneous Income > Other Reportable Income with the description of 'Exempt Income IRS Notice 2014-7'.
This will both show the W-2 income on your return (for EIC) and explain why it is not taxable (negative entry in Other Reportable Income).
