I lived with my mother the entire year, and went to college. My question is can I claim my child and get EITC if I supported myself and her? We split the living costs.

I made over $14,000 gross in 2018, Paid utilites and partial rent, and have my own transportation in my name. I was a student from august-december and I’m just confused on whether I am a qualifying dependent or not. When I file my taxes will I need to bring any type of proof of these things? My mother has already said she will not be claiming my child or myself.
