EITC - Can I get it if my only income is disability?

[Zobop63]

When I search online to see if I qualify for EITC with my income being only disability without children. The results keep saying yes as long as I am under the income threshold. My income is under 16k annual. But when I do a mockup return, no EITC is offered and it says $0 refund. A few years ago, I received the EITC and got $832 refund. Nothing has changed on my end except a couple meager cost of living increases. I was hoping to ask a Turbotax agent, but I guess they don't do that anymore for us poor free customers. I really hope it was user error and I really do get EITC for my 2024 return. 

Any informed advice will be greatly appreciated. TIA

If your only income is Social Security disability, then sorry, no, you cannot get EIC.    In order to get EIC you must have income from working.    Or----are you getting some other sort of disability that is reported on a W-2?   If so, you could get EIC.   But without a W-2----sorry, no.
