TurboTax says you can take the EITC for 2019 but the IRS says "no" cannot. Unemployment Comp for 2021 isn't considered income which according to TurboTax IS less than income in 2019. What's the correct answer? How do you fight IRS?
Who told you that you cannot use 2019 earned income for EITC if your 2021 earned income is less? An IRS agent?
Go to this IRS website for information on using 2019 earned income for 2021 EITC if the 2019 earned income is more than 2021 - https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/individuals/earned-income-tax-credit/earned-income-and-earned...
