// EARNED INCOME TAX

CREDIT (EITC) RELIEF

If your earned income was higher in 2019

than in 2020, you can use the 2019 amount

to figure your EITC for 2020. This temporary

relief is provided through the Taxpayer

Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020.

To claim the Earned Income Tax Credit

(EITC), you must have what qualifies as

earned income and meet certain adjusted

gross income (AGI) and credit limits for the

current, previous and upcoming tax years.

- Use the EITC tables to look up maximum

credit amounts by tax year.

- If you are unsure if you can claim the

EITC, use the EITC Qualification Assistant.
