Hi everyone,

I have a client with $0 earned income in 2020. She just have unemployment benefit form 1099G. Can we use her earned income in 2019 to calculate and to get EITC & ACTC for her?

In her case, I search for EIC Worksheet and form 8812 and then check "YES" on "Elect to use 2019 earned income for EIC and ACTC".

If we can do that, I think Pro Series should pop up EIC worksheet and Form 8812 in "Form in use" and "Red check" on "YES" or "NO" in line "Elect to use 2019 earned income for EIC and ACTC". It's easy missing this benefit for our customer.

Best regards,

Anh Bui
