The quickest way to verify the amount of EITC included on your return and determine if there is a problem would be to take a look at it.

The diagnostic file will not contain personally identifiable information, only numbers related to your tax forms.
If you would like to provide us with the diagnostic file, follow the instructions below and post the token number along with which version of TurboTax you are using and what states you are filing in a follow-up thread. Posting a screenshot of the token number would be useful to prevent it from being redacted.

Your EIC credit is $3,010
