Actually my 2021 earned income is $10,136 because unemployment benefits & gambling winnings are unearned income so 2019 earned income $16,441 is higher but using my 2021 earned income $10,136 yields a higher earned income credit $6,275 as to 2019 earned income $16,441 earned income credit $6,274 so either way my tax preparer should've caught that right.
