I am so worried about this, I actually have a client in this situation we are discussing, and I am still confused. I am calling Proseries tomorrow to see what they say about this discussion.

There is no point in calling ProSeries because they do not give tax advice.

The law is clear, that a person can use their 2019 Earned Income.  

What exactly is worrying you?  What are you uncertain about?

The only thing you need to check on is to determine if they qualify as somebody else's dependent.  But you need to be doing that anyways, regardless of EIC.
