Deductions & credits

"Deductions & Income section" - I am not familiar with this section. Did you mean "Deductions & Credits"?

 

"line D on Form 8880"- there is no line D on the 8880. What are you referring to?

 

Are you filing MFJ? Are you (or your spouse if MFJ) a student? What is your AGI?

 

As Hal_Al noted above, it's actually difficult to qualify for the credit, because most people with so little income are either students or don't have the spare dollars to contribute to retirement.

 

There are a couple of other reasons why you might fail to qualify: "(a) was born after January 1, 2004; (b) is claimed as a dependent on someone else’s 2021 tax return;"
