I also don't think this is possible. The Earned Income Credit is a credit. The credit is added AFTER all taxes are calculated. Something does not compute. This is direct from the IRS website: "The Earned Income Tax Credit, EITC or EIC, is a benefit for working people with low to moderate income. To qualify, you must meet certain requirements and file a tax return, even if you do not owe any tax or are not required to file. EITC reduces the amount of tax you owe and may give you a refund." [
