So you are saying the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020 doesn't apply to me at all since I have no taxable income in 2020 due to COVID but did in 2019? Seeking clarification.......

 

If your earned income was higher in 2019 than in 2020, you can use the 2019 amount to figure your EITC for 2020. This temporary relief is provided through the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020.

To figure the credit, see Publication 596, Earned Income Credit.

 

Turbotax has a question for this and I want to make sure I understand the rules.
