Earned income is the amount you were paid working for other people or for yourself. 

 

How you were paid is the most important question.  If all you had was a W2 then the amount on line one is your earned income.  If you were self-employed then it is often more difficult to figure out. 

 

But if you add up the amounts on your tax return that come from working for other people or working for yourself then you'll have it.
