By now, you should have received all of your 2020 tax statements and documents. You should know there are some things you can do when you file your taxes to keep more money for you and your family. You can use that to your advantage because this year, the IRS will let you use the income that gets you a larger earned income tax credit. If you are eligible for the EITC, the more money you make, the higher the credit you will get. If you had a higher income in 2019 than in 2020, you can use your 2019 income to get the higher amount in the EITC the child tax credit.
