Earned Income Tax Credit

Why is my 2021 Turbo Tax desktop version allowing me the EITC if I am over the age of 65? Has there been a change to the law for the 2021 filing year? I'd like to know before I file so that I am not submitting an incorrect return.

Thanks

Yes. For 2021 only, the upper age limit has been completely removed, which means that taxpayers over 65 can now claim the EIC during the 2021 tax year.
