My AGI last year was about $40K. My income in box 1 this year is about $44K. However, TT says I don't qualify for EIC because my earned income is $73K (I guess it is including the $34,800 HA)? Is this correct? Should HA be included in my earned income total? I qualified for EIC last year with all the same housing allowance in place and about the same income so I don't understand why I'm not qualifying this year.
