Ok. I was wondering this. I did not know what the look-back option was when I filed. Unfortunately didn't know until after theyve been accepted. However, you mention if your earned income in higher in 2020 then you cannot use lookback? How is earned income defined, are you saying Adjusted Gross? My adjusted gross income is about 2500 dollars more in 2020 versus 2019 so if based on that, I could not use lookback. But my Box 1 "wages, salaries etc" on form 1040 is actually about 500 bucks less than tax year 2019. Reason is about 2100 bucks of my income from 2020 was unemployment income so my income from work is slightly less than 2019 but my adjusted gross is actually more.
Just wanted to clarify if I CAN use the lookback so I can decide if I want to go through the ordeal of amending the return that was JUST accepted...
