@athaureaux6 " I was in a virtual workshop today and they assure people that with 0 earned income, (unemployment only) you could use the provision assuming you had earned income and the EITC in 2019."

Let's avoid red herrings.

"Unemployment only" is not a condition.  It's irrelevant.  It's likely that most people with earned income in 2019 collected some unemployment in 2020, but not everyone would have, and it doesn't matter.

"Assuming you had . . . the EITC in 2019."  No, you don't need EITC in 2019.  You just need earned income in 2019.
