2021 is the first year that folks over 65 can claim the Earned Income Credit, so if you were over 65 in 2019, this will not be on your 2019 tax return.
If not, look on Line 18 of Form 1040-SR for 2019 for the Earned Income Credit.
If you are confused by the 'lookback rule' of using your 2019 income to qualify for the credit, you don't have to choose this.
To get the most credit, some taxpayers want to use the year they had the lowest income (either 2019 or 2021). If your income was about the same for 2019 as it is in 2021, don't worry about reviewing your 2019 return.
