SE using 2019 figures

[ILLMAS]

I will be working on my first return using 2019 figures, TP worked very little in 2020, is there anything special I need to do?  Do I just use 2019 1099 for 2020 and that's it?

Thanks

Are you talking about using 2019 earned income for both EIC and CTC when 2019 earned income is higher than 2020 earned income?

[ILLMAS]

Yes, that is exactly what I need to do.

Thanks

Your software might have 2019 earned income in the 2020 return data entry screens. You probably have to check a box to tell your software to use 2019 earned income.

I’ll check ATX

ATX has the check box at bottom of EIC questions
