Where can I find the taxpayer’s 2019 Earned Income?
Preferred Method
Look at a copy of the taxpayers 2019 tax return.
- Look for Form 8812. Earned income is shown on line 6a.
- If there is no Form 8812, look for the EITC worksheets, which are usually included at the end of your return. Earned income is listed on Worksheet A, Line 1 and Worksheet B, Line 4b.
Alternative Method
If the taxpayer does not have a copy of the 2019 return, the taxpayer can obtain a transcript from the IRS.
