Deductions & credits

Okay so Joey started to fill his out and yes, he is totally disabled. He remains under the SGA because his medical conditions are too severe that he can't work full time or make enough that is above the SGA limit. He does draw SSDI even though he works part time.

 

When he fills out his forms and everything, it shows he gets the EIC credit because he's claiming himself. Does that automatically rule me out from claiming the EIC?

 

That's where I was confused. I can't claim him as a dependent because he's claiming himself and it shows he gets a tax break of $118 with EIC but doesn't that rule me out from claiming the EIC?
