I'LL TRY EXPLAIN AGAIN 2019 Wages etc 35535 line 7b total income 35535 line 8b AGI 35535 for 2020 line 1 wages etc 31063 line 8 other income unemployment 11282 - unemployment not earned income line 9 total income 42355 line 11 AGI 42355 So to figure EIC using 2019 numbers EIC STEP 5 LINE 2 -IT'S CORRECT 35535 on WORKSHEET A Part 1 line 1 is ok 35535 BUT line 3 ATX is using 2020 AGI of 42355 instead of 2019 AGI of 35535 so using 2019 numbers and 2020 numbers you get the same EIC because line 3 isincorrect Should I talk to ATX support ? Thanks

Parent filing as single died 12/3/2020 Daughter has looked thru May thru December 2020 bank statements and can't find 1200 stimulus amount Dad was US resident, had a SS number and agi was 43393 in 2019 No bank account on any returns he paid taxes due with paper check and received refund in paper check She can't use Get My Payment or setup a My Account because dad's social security is not longer active Will it work to put zero on 1040-line 30 - it comes up with 1200 refund but will that pass IRS with death date of 12/3/2020 Any suggestions how she can get 1200 dollars ? thanks

so she was hoh in 2019 so I need to add her now husband income in 2019 - they married 2/22/2020 in 2020 mfj her husband is a stay at home dad with NO income

Are different filing status in 2020 MFJ and 2019 HOH causing my problem with PTEI 2019 HOH EI 35535 EIC was 890 and 8812 was 731 2020 MFJ EI 31063 EIC is 842 and 8812 is 214 but when I check use PYEI on EIC and 8812 the 2019 EIC of 35535 the EIC is 842 and 8812 is 214 same as 2020

I think I'm following the directions correctly but 2020 EI is 31063 and EIC is 842 and CDC is 214 2019 EI is 35535 and EIC is 842 and CDC is 214 The amount are the same for both years - what's my error ? Thanks

Earned income is NOT only w2 wages Look at EITC for Types of Earned Income You don't have to use 2019 earned income - Don't check the box and ATX will use 2020 income

AGI is not the same as Earned Income Look at EITC for examples of Earned Income

Does ATX automatically fill in the PYEI on the CTC and EIC and 8812 forms ? If not from what line on the 2019 1040 do I get the number? thanks
