Your income disqualifies you for the EIC.

For Single with no dependents the maximum AGI is $21,430

 

Go to this IRS website for the EIC tables - https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/individuals/earned-income-tax-credit/earned-income-and-earned...

If you are single with no dependents then you made too much to get EIC.   Take a look at the chart that starts on page 33 of this IRS publication.
