The taxpayer is filing for the first year of her divorce, the divorce decree states she is granted head of household status and gets to claim one of her two children as a dependent each year. The two children lived with the taxpayer for 8 months in 2024. Setting up the turbo tax file does the taxpayer get to claim one child as a dependent and the other child as a non dependent but is eligible for EIC credit or is the EIC credit lost for the non dependent child in the first year of a divorce?
