TurboTax HelpIntuitCan I qualify for the Earned Income Credit if I didn't work, was unemployed, or am not required to file a return?

You do not qualify for the Earned Income Credit (EIC) unless you have earned income and meet all the other EIC qualifications.
Being unemployed, not working, and/or not meeting the filing threshold automatically disqualifies you from the EIC.
TurboTax handles the behind-the-scenes calculations so you don't have to.
