Your post indicates that you are using TurboTax (TT) Deluxe Online.  Just follow the interview. TT will claim the Earned Income Credit (EIC) for you, if you qualify. 

If your minimal income was reported to you on a W-2 form, you may qualify for the TT free edition. See

"I need a form 1040..."

A 1040 is the tax return form you prepare here to send to the IRS.   If you start entering data in this software you are preparing a Form 1040.   Please look at it so you will know what you are sending to the IRS:

@hclif08 You posted your question on October 22  -- past the October 16 deadline to use online TurboTax to start a new 2022 tax return.  If you did not already start your tax return before October 16, you cannot use online TurboTax.   You will need to purchase the CD/download to use on a full PC or Mac, and your tax return cannot be e-filed; it must be filed by mail.

You may also want to explore purchasing the software from various retailers such as Amazon, Costco, Best Buy, Walmart, Sam’s, etc.

Remember to prepare your state return as well—if you live in a state that has a state income tax.

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.

Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.

"I received minimal money in 2022"

 Earned Income Credit—-the rules are back to the “old” rules—

Those under 25 and over 65 without children are not eligible as they were uniquely in 2021.   And you cannot use your income from any earlier tax year to get the EIC for a 2022 return.  There is no “lookback” for 2022.  EIC for 2022 will be based on the income you earned by working in 2022.
