Where do I determine what my "earned income" is?

I'm at the Deductions & Credits portion, and I need to answer the following question:

"Is you earned income for 2020 less than it was for 2019?"

 

First off, shouldn't Turbotax know this, but aside from that, where do I go now to confirm this "earned income" amount, for both 2019, and 2020, so that I can compare both years.

 

Thank you

Your earned income is the income you receive from work you do, such as wage income and self-employment income. You will see those amounts on form 1040, line 1 and schedule 1, part I, line 3 (your self-employment net income.)
