There is a Lookback Credit. You can use your 2019 income for the EIC Credit on your 2020 return. See this post

No,   You have to enter your 2020 income.  But there is a lookback for earned income credit that will allow you to use your 2019 or 2020 AGI  for the purpose of getting you a better earned income credit or child tax credit.
