I am preparing my 2021 tax return as single and cannot be claimed as a dependent this year. I am looking to confirm if I can use my 2019 income to qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit. I had lower income in 2021 and do get a higher credit if I use my 2019 income, but though I had income in 2019 I was claimed as a dependent in 2019. Can I still use my 2019 income to claim the EITC Credit in 2021? I am not able to see an answer for this in any of the places I have looked. Thanks in advance to the experts who can answer this question.
