Lots of reasons. See  https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/individuals/earned-income-tax-credit

 

For example, if you are  a custodial parent who lets the non custodial parent claim the child as a dependent, you still get EIC for that child (the non custodial parent does not).

 

Your income may have slipped under the cap for this year
