Do you mean you did not get EITC for 2024 and are getting it for 2025----and want someone to explain why you did not get earned income credit for 2024?

Did your income or dependents change? No one can see your returns so we don’t know.

Did you file Married filing separately for 2024?

Were you claimed as someone else's dependent for 2024?

Did you ask about it last year?
