Did you have W-2 income, or a profit from self-employment?

No, only alimony, after deduction of 2 dependents, income 7,000, deductions 9,000

You cannot get the earned income credit if your income is just alimony. In order to get EIC you must have income earned from working.

If you are the custodial parent and would like to release the exemptions of the children to your ex so that they can be claimed on his tax return instead of yours, you would fill out Form 8332 and give it to your ex.

However, only the parent where the child(ren) physically lived with more than half the year can claim the EIC or Child care credit. The absent parent can *never* claim those credits. The can only claim the child's exemption and child tax credit.
