My EIC isn't figuring correctly. I am head of household with two children and my adjusted gross is under the $55,768 limit. How can it say I qualify with two children and my income is under the limit of $55,768 and I do not get all the credit, only $862 is what is says it will give me??

You say that your income was below the limit---but do not mention how much you actually earned. The maximum amount is not given to everyone---it is calculated based on how much you earned.
