A9. Yes, for open tax years, you may choose to include all, but not part, of these payments in earned income for determining the EIC or the ACTC, if these payments are otherwise earned income (wages or income from self-employment).
I did find with my customer that their income was over the $15980 (2021) for EIC so it made their taxes higher and they did not qualify for EIC.
