Are you married filing jointly with 3 or more dependents? Then you would be eligible if your 2023 Adjusted Gross Income is $63,398 or less.

Go to this IRS website for the EITC table for tax year 2023 - https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/individuals/earned-income-tax-credit/earned-income-and-earned-income-tax-credit-eitc-tables

It depends. As DoninGA mentioned, your filing status, and family size among other factors can affect your eligibility. Other factors that could disqualify you at your income level could be:

If your filing status is Married Filing Separately
If you have less than 3 Qualifying Children
If you have an investment income of more than $11,000
If you have Foreign Earned Income
