I am eligible for the Earned income credit but the system is not allowing me to add it. I have earned income and none of the disqualifying options apply to me.

If you are eligible for EIC the software adds it to your return automatically, so I suspect you might be mistaken about your eligibility.   

 

Please use the IRS eitc assistant to see what it says:
