Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hello! I will provide more details below.  I am trying to see if I can claim my brother as a "nondependent child."

 

My brother is 21 and was a full-time student in 2019.  He also earned over $28,000 and has already filed his own tax return as an independent filer.

 

However, he still lived with me for the entire year.  

 

Am I able to claim him as a non-dependent child on my tax return for EIC purposes?

 

And if so, would he have to amend his tax return?

 

Thank you for your help!
