I can't speak to why you had to repay the EIC in 2020; however, I can tell you that the Earned Income Credit has been expanded. If you qualify, you should take it. For 2021, the EITC is generally available to filers without qualifying children who are at least 19 years old with earned income below $21,430; $27,380 for spouses filing a joint return. The maximum EITC for filers with no qualifying children is $1,502, up from $538 in 2020. For more information see Earned Income Tax Credit
