My girlfriend and daughter are on Medicaid and live with me. Who would benefit more from claiming our daughter?

 

I'm wondering if the Earned Income Tax Credit would provide a more substantial tax break for my girlfriend and a higher monetary return than it would If I were to claim my daughter. I make about $80k/year and pay daycare expenses, $7200/yr. My girlfriend makes just under the Medicaid threshold for a single parent, $22,932.

 

Which scenario would provide us the biggest tax break/return?

 

Thanks!
