In TurboTax, when you are in the earned income credit section, you will be asked if you want to use last year's earned income to calculate the credit. If your earned income was greater in 2019 than in 2020, you may get a higher EITC credit by using 2019 earned income. If your income was not higher in 2019, you will not qualify for this provision.
For more information see EIC Lookback.
