The "lookback" rule allows taxpayers to use either their 2019 or 2020 income, whichever is most beneficial, in order to get the most out of the Earned Income Tax Credit and the Child Tax Credit.

 

What form is this lookback rule where can I apply it for 2020 in series?

Go to the Earned Income Credit Worksheet  scroll down to line 5  there is a Smart Worksheet to select Yes or No to use 2019.
