Earned Income is just what it says, income earned as wages or self-employment income.  Adjusted Gross Income includes all other forms of taxable income, such as capital gains or losses, taxable social security,dividends, interest, etc.  Other forms of income, such as scholarships can become considered as earned income if certain conditions are met, but for most taxpayers the information above is sufficient.
