If I showed a loss last year but a profit this year on taxes?

My buisness showed a loss last year so I didn't have any income. My business will show a profit this year of about 15,000. I am single with a son. Will I get my earned income credit on the 15,000 or will my loss throw me off? I don't understand where last years loss comes in to play.
