Can I decline to take the Earned Income Credit?

Taking that gives me anxiety (fun anxiety disorders).

 

So I'm wondering when I fill out turbo tax small business......how to decline it? 

 

And if I decline it will this cause any big issues down the line?

 

I know I might get a letter that says "you are eligibile" but do I have to respond to that letter or ignore it? 

 

Thanks!
