EIC is calculated on a bell curve that goes up and down with the income you received from working.  Take a look at the EIC table that starts on page 33:

It appears, after i spoke to an agent of yours, that you miss filed my taxes..my gross income was $6028. And my credit should have been much higher in all the past years i have received over $400. So i am hoping IRS catches your mistake.
