The Earned Income Credit is based on your earned income, certain other income, filing status, and number of children for the year. Your self-employment tax is not part of the calculation of the Earned Income Credit.

See this TurboTax tips article and this IRS webpage for more information about the Earned Income Credit and how it is calculated.
