My divorced daughter and her child, my grandchild, live with my Wife and I. My daughter provides more than half of her support thru a job and I do not claim her as a dependent. I provide more than half of the suport for our grandchild, and do claim him as my dependent. Can my daughter file as Head of Household, not claim her child as a dependent, but still claim her child for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)? The EITC rules do not require the claimant to provide suppport, only residency. I do make too much to claim the EITC but my daughter does qualify.
