@iceman_2187 Yes, provided that the parents did not live together any time during the last 6 months of the year and the parent that did live with the child claims the EIC and Child care credit and gives a signed 8332 form to the parent that did not live with the child releasing the child's exemption and child tax credit.
If the parents both lived with the child any time during the last 6 month of the year, then the child can only be on one tax return that claims all the benefits - they cannot be split in any way.
