When figuring the Earned Income Credit, both AGI and earned income are used. For 2020, you are allowed to use your 2019 earned income if it was more in 2019. However, even if you use the lookback provision, the credit is still calculated using 2020 AGI. See this EIC worksheet; notice that both AGI and earned income are used.
