The qualification for earned income tax credit (EITC) is based on your adjusted gross income (AGI) and earned income. To be eligible for the credit with one child, your AGI on line 8b must be less than $41,094 (or $46,884 if married filing jointly). Those "maximum amounts" also apply to your earned income, which is the taxable income and wages you get from working or certain disability payments.
A good tool for understanding eligibility for EITC is the IRS guide at this link.
