Deductions & credits

The IRS interactive assistant for EIC is no longer available for tax year 2019.  But it still might be helpful for you to use the one for 2023 and just plug in some amounts so that you can see that the amount of your AGI --- and thus your EIC--- is affected by receiving unemployment and/or other types of income in addition to the income earned from your job.
