How do I calculate my 2019 earned income amount if I only have my W2 from that year? Would Line 1 be my earned income amount?

I don't have my tax filings from that year, and the only thing I have available is my W2 form from 2019. I only worked at one job, so that W2 should be all that I used for my tax filings. Line 1 has my wages, tips, other comp. Is this my earned income amount? Or would I need to subtract all the withheld taxes like on Line 2, 4, 6? And what about Line 3, which is my Social Security Wages? Thanks for the help.

If all you had for the year was the one W2 then box 1 is your total earned income for the year.
