The TurboTax program will ask you for it if your return could benefit from using your 2019 income rather than your 2020 income. 

 

You are allowed to make that election (choose the 2019 income for the credit to be based on) if your income was HIGHER in 2019 and the election to use the 2019 income results in a larger credit amount.
