Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)

[alyssamarient]

I qualify for EITC but did not receive anything for it. I am 25, single, no kids, and do not receive any investment income. What do I do? What would make me unqualified?

Did you check 1040 line 27a for it?  It would have been added as soon as you entered your income before you noticed.  Did it say you don't qualify?  EIC Qualifications

For tax year 2021, filing as Single with no dependents your maximum Adjusted Gross Income must not be over $21,430 to be eligible for EIC.  Plus any investment income must be less than $10,000.

It put No.  I ran through the qualifications 10 times to make sure. I also made under $21,430 for the year. Unfortunate. I will have to amend.

I qualify based on that income number and I do not have any investment income. It looks like I will be amending.
