Hi everybody, I would like you to try this in the software for tax year 2020

For example, Julia, 35 years old, two children, one 1 and the other 3 years old. W-2 shows 1 dollar in box 1. That is all she has. Because she is allowed to use the earned income from 2019 which was 13567, she will get a lot of money. The software shows no errors. 

Same situation, but no w-2, nothing. The software still allows to select the amount of earned income from 2019 and will get the same refund. Although this time, the return will show 1 error, saying that the EITC was obtained from unsubstantiated sources, or something like that. 

How that could be possible?
