No one can see your tax return. We do not know why you are not getting earned income credit. Maybe you do not meet the criteria for 2021. Or maybe you are someone else's dependent. Dependents cannot get EIC.

The most common reasons people don't qualify for the EIC are:

Their AGI, earned income, and/or investment income is too high
They have no earned income
They're using Married Filing Separately
Their dependent doesn't meet the qualifying child criteria (if claiming one)
They're too young or too old (if not claiming a qualifying child)

There's a bunch of other qualifications that must be met. See the full list.
