The option of using your 2019 income for a 2020 Earned Income Tax Credit only applies if your income was higher in 2019 and if it would result in a higher credit on the 2020 return. It is not the same as you getting your 2019 Earned Income Credit amount on your 2020 tax return, only the option of using that amount of income if it was more. If you earned more in 2020, it does not apply. If your "dependents" are between 19 and 24, but not a student, they may no longer be your dependents for the Earned Income Tax Credit.
