TurboTax says my earned income is too high for the EIC. The IRS website uses AGI which means I qualify, but TurboTax only uses earned income so I don’t qualify. Thoughts?

My earned income is $63k. I paid $6k in health insurance premiums with brings my AGI to $57k. You need a $58k AGI to qualify for the EIC per the IRS Website. TurboTax says I don’t qualify based on earned income. The IRS Website says I do based on AGI. (I can also make contributions to a 401k/HSA to bring this number down and qualify, but I should already qualify based on my health insurance premiums. Does anyone know what to do on TurboTax to qualify?
