EIC credit

sdmeek83 · ‎November 14, 2018

I claimed my daughter for 2016, but I wasn’t claiming her so her dad could in 2017. Well we just found out that somehow or other the EIC got put on my taxes and I have no idea how to fix it. I of course can not get ahold of anyone in the IRS to find out how to fix it. Can anyone help me?!?

You will need to Amend each of your tax returns to make a change. Keep in mind, there are rules for claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). See below for more details.

Only the person with whom the child lived for the most number of nights during the year can claim the EIC. Are you divorced or living apart or are all of you living together?
