You might qualify. (see below) The EIC (Earned Income Credit) is a range based on the amount of
earned income you have, your filing status, and the number of qualifying children
you have. If you earn too little or too much, the amount you receive for
the credit is scaled based on that amount. Most taxpayers who qualify for
the credit will not receive the full amount.
Remember, the income you have must be earned income. If you are self-employed, it is the "net" profit.
Go through the section on the Earned Income Credit (EIC) in the Deductions & Credits area and pay special attention to any blue text links for more details.
You can read more about the income ranges for your filing status.
