No earned income 2020 but had EIC in 2019

[Bucky]

So in 2020 taxpayers only income was disability from SSA and a tax free military disability pension. They have 3 children. In 2019 they had income and received EIC. So even if they have zero earned income in 2020 they qualify to use 2019 income and will receive EIC (actually a bit more than last year because of tables) and additional child credit. Anyone else run into this? I knew you could use the best year 2019 or 2020 for EIC calculations but the zero earned income threw me.

Yes, use 2019 or 2020 earned income, whichever gives your clients the best 2020 result, for both EIC and ACTC.
