I am a US Military Member stationed in the United Kingdom. Why do I not qualify for the earned income credit?

It depends, you have to meet all the Earned Income Credit (EIC) qualification requirements to qualify for the Earned income Credit. Please ensure that you selected “Yes” to the “Did you live in the U.S. for more than six months in 2019?” question, since members of the military stationed outside the Unites States are considered to have their main home in the United States for tax purposes.
