Deductions & credits

Having non taxable disability income, apparently, does not disqualify you.

reference: https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/individuals/earned-income-tax-credit/disability-and-earned-in...

 

The earned income credit is first calculated (actually looked up in a table) on your earned income then it is calculated on your AGI (not your total income). You get the lesser of the two calculated EIC numbers.
