Let's say that I elected to use my 2019 earned income in 2021 bc it was more than the $20 I earned in 2021. Can I claim the $20 of earned income from 2021 on California's tax return only, and my 2019 earned income on the federal return only, for eitc and ctc purposes?
(My income in 2021 was mostly from unemployment compensation which isn't counted as taxable income in California. I want to claim the $20 earned income in California to qualify for the state eitc/ctc and the recovery rebate payment as well).
