Yes, you are exactly correct. Over 10 years ago, the other parent had slipped in he could claim the kids as dependants. However, they live with me 365 days a year and he does nothing to support any needs. Our youngest child who is still a minor living with me and is still applicable on parental taxes. Each year, he claims as dependant and gets the EIC. I still qualify for the other credits. The problem is that although the software recognizes this...it still keeps putting the EIC on my file. I can't find any way to remove it.
