Hi, we had a long discussion about it but as of today I am still not sure about this. It seems that even with ) 0 income somebody qualifies for the EITC using the 2019 earned income amount. As you said, why the program marked wrong. A group of people are calling PS and IRS to clarify this. It has to be solved quickly this week or it is going to be a mess. I already had people with did not work and had earned income last year. A mess.
