Has the earned income tax credit changed for 2021? We've always qualified for this & made even less this year due to a job loss, but Turbo Tax is saying I don't qualify.

EITC is actually more liberal in 2021 (meaning more people qualify)

use this link to see what is going on:

also, if your 2021 income is LESS THAN 2019 and using your income from your 2019 tax return gets you more EITC, then you can use 2019 income to determine your EITC on your 2021 tax return

You said both "we" and "I". Did your filing status change from 2020 to 2021?
