I cannot add this to my tax return for some reason and need to add it.

The program will complete the EITC automatically if you qualify for the credit.  Read the rules here to make sure you qualify ...  https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/individuals/earned-income-tax-credit/earned-income-and-earned...

If you are eligible for EIC the software adds it to your return automatically, so I suspect you might be mistaken about your eligibility.   

 

Please use the IRS eitc assistant to see what it says:
