TT is counting my retirement and social security income as part of AGI and not allowing me to claim the EIC when my actual earned income is $20,000.

You are above the age limit to receive the Earned Income Credit. Even if you were young enough to qualify, both your AGI and your earned income must be below the limits,not just earned income.

Were you 66 years old as of 12/31/17?

AGI plays a part in EIC as well.

Sorry--you cannot get EIC if you are 65 or over. Furthermore, even you only "earned" $20,000, the other income like retirement and SS counts.

We have a qualifying child so I don't know if the age limit applies, but I hadn't seen the inclusion of AGI, so in any case we do not qualify. Thanks.
