Is there a tax credit for getting a pay decrease during covid?

I took a pay cut in 2020 due to covid. Is there any tax credits or deductions?

No there is no tax credit for that. But you had less income subject to being taxed.

No. Did you get any unemployment? There is a tax exclusion on 10,200 of unemployment. But for wages you will just have less income to be taxed on.

I have a w2 with $5,000 income, but TurboTax said I dont qualify for Additional Child Tax credit because my earned income was less than $2500.
