I have a 25 year old single taxpayer (& no dependents)

with only one W-2 box 1 wages of $5.050 disqualifying him

to be a dependent on his parent's 2023 tax return.  He has

a 2023 1098-T showing only in qualified fees, tuition, etc,

box $26,525 (no scholarships).  He has no other income.

Is there any reason he would not qualify for earned

income credit (with 0 children)?

Thanks for your opinions & any other info.  mikeburg
