My husband and I made 33,00 last year, I have a 17yr old and a 11yr old. Why did I only qualify for $3752 instead of $5716 of the earned income credit?

    the earned income credit is a MAXIMUM of $5716....  it's a sliding scale based on your income.

     

    you can use the IRS tool in the link below to validate that Turbo Tax is correct
