Hello, I am wondering if I can elect to NOT take the earned income credit so my return can be processed and sent sooner (due to IRS delay if you take this credit).

No, you do not get that choice. You just have to wait along with everyone else for the IRS to begin processing returns on January 23.

In fact, if you qualify, the IRS will add it automatically even if you leave it off.
