If that is the dollar amount of the eic credit then why was it so low? I have three qualifying children and we are married filing jointly.

EIC gradually goes down as your income increases. At $54,885, your EIC would be zero.&nbsp;<A rel="nofollow" href="https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p4935.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p4935.pdf</A>&nbsp;</P> Mon, 03 Jun 2019 17:44:30 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-credits-deductions/discussion/you-got-the-maximum-amount-of-eic-allowed-for-mfj-with-th/01/289457#M35336 Rainman12 2019-06-03T17:44:30Z https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-credits-deductions/discussion/thanks-everyone-for-your-help/01/289465#M35338 Thanks everyone for your help!
