Deductions & credits

Thank you. Are unemployment benefits included for determining the earned income #? I don't think so but please confirm. My 2020 earned income, excluding unemployment, is lower than 2019 and I want to use the 2019 # for the EIC calculation; however the software is using the 2020 # which is higher but only because of unemployment. Is that part of the calculation or is it an error in the software? Thank you.
