Hi,
As I'm aware that you can use your earned income in 2019 to determine eligibility for EITC but no where in Turbo Tax software guidance me to where I need to do that. My mom is unemployed since March last year with income of $2k and unemployment benefit of $16k. Now Turbo Tax software is saying that she doesn't qualify for EITC because her income is too high. Her income for 2019 is only $9k. Please advise how do I go about adjusting that from the software
From Turbo Tax: "There is a special temporary rule allowing individuals to use their earned income from tax year 2019 to determine their eligibility and amount of Earned Income Tax Credit and the refundable portion of the Child Tax Credit (i.e., the Additional Child Tax Credit) in the 2020 tax year. TurboTax will help you to do this when you file your 2020 tax return this year."
