Can I qualify for the Earned Income Credit if I didn't work, was unemployed, or am not required to file a return? (2024)

SOLVEDby TurboTax706Updated November 22, 2023

You do not qualify for the Earned Income Credit (EIC) unless you haveearned income and meet all the otherEIC 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.
