    The credit most likely is lowering your tax due.

      I shouldn't owe any, I have kids and way overpaid, didnt claim them on my taxes all year, and I fall way under the qualifying income amount

      You can look at your Form 1040 on line 27 to see if your earned income credit shows there. Also, you can review the other entries on that form to understand better how your tax is being calculated.
