Single TP 40 years old meets the income qualifications to take the EIC. PS is calculating the EIC.

TP earned W-2 wages while in a half-way house. My understanding is the her W-2 income isn't considered earned income for the EIC.

I entered the W-2 wages on the EIC Worksheet in the A box below line 2a for the amount that isn't earned income for the EIC. The total wages populated line 2b, as it should, resulting in $0 earned income on line 6 and $0 EIC, which is correct.

However, there is an error for the total wages I entered in the A box below line 2a. The error says "spouse earnings should be blank". I don't see anywhere else to enter the non-earned income. 

Where do I enter the adjustment so that there is no earned income reported for the EIC?

Thank you.
