Does state EIC not calculate into return total? My total didn't change

I put in only $40 to state taxes. But I qualified for over $200 EIC. Why doesn't my return total reflect that EIC?

The rules regarding state earned income credit vary by state. On the federal return, you can receive an earned income credit that is more than your tax, but they may not be applicable in your state. Often, a tax credit is limited to the amount of your tax, and that may be the case with you. What state are you filing for?
