I claim my elderly parents as dependents on my tax return and meet the requirements, but Turbotax seems to not give me the EITC? i don't understand

Please follow these steps to see if you qualify for the EIC:

On the top click on “Deductions & Credits”
Scroll down to “You and Your Family” and click “Show more”
Click on “Start” next to “Earned Income Credit (EIC)”

Please review What are the qualifications for the Earned Income Credit (EIC or EITC)?

Please be aware, we cannot see the details of your return. Do you have earned income? Is your earned income & AGI below the limit ($16,480, $22,610 if filing jointly)? Did you have an investment income of more than $10,300?

Dependents, other than "Qualifying Children", do not get you any additional EITC.

A taxpayer claiming his parents as dependents, gets the same EITC as a single person, claiming no dependents.

Claiming adult dependents does not get you the earned income credit. It may get you the $500 credit for other dependents, which is not refundable, but will reduce tax owed.
