Where do I go to mark that the Client is not a US citizen?

Taxpayer has a work visa, which disqualifies him to alim the EIC, credit where do i go to state the client isn't a US citizens. Every where i have looked is either for the spouse or making him a US citizen. The other option is Taxpayer (or spouse if MFJ) SSN not valid for work or EIC purposes. But the taxpayer does ha a SS valid for work only.

Taxpayer isn't eligible to claim EIC, he is he on a work visa.

Resident aliens can claim EIC.  Some visas qualify taxpayers as resident aliens, others do not.  Are you sure you should be filing a 1040 and not a 1040NR?

No, I'm positive i have to file a 1040 return and not a 1040NR return.  

The taxpayer has a working visa which only gives him the right to work nothing else.

"Working visa" is not a legal term, it can mean several visa types, some of which are taxed as nonresident aliens.  But you are probably referring to an H Visa.

In any case, to answer your question there is no place to indicate he is not a US citizen because that's not a requirement for EIC.
