This is still a very confusing statement, and I apologize that I am not understanding the wording. I did in fact let the software populate this figure because TT already had my 2019 AGI from last year, and it made the value of EIC credit $58 dollars higher than the actual previous amount found on my 2019 tax return.
Did the software use my earned income from 2019 or wages, and then use the 2020 EIC table to find the credit using the 2020 table? If not, why would it be $58 dollars higher?
The reason this is important is that we are getting feedback that the EIC amount MUST be the same exact figure for our 2020 return, which didn't make sense to me according to the wording on the IRS main site to use the wages and calculate a figure for the credit. IT does not specify which table to use, 2019 or 2020 for the lookback.
