Why was Form 1099R info incorrectly carried to line 1- wages, thus saying that it qualified as earned income for the earned income credit?

I double checked and all info from Form 1099R was entered correctly. Can't figure why is was carried to line 1 -Wages

Was the code in box 7 a 3 - Disability? If so, were you under the age for retirement as established by your employer?
