I have 2 children that live with me that I usually claim as dependents and for EIC. (1 disabled adult son, and 1 now 18 yr old son) This year, I do not necessarily need to claim my 18 yr old son because my income is under "difficulty of care income". (it will be my first time filing with the excludable income). My 18 year old would like to file his own taxes without me claiming him as a dependent so that he can be eligible for the Recovery rebate (stimulus). (no dependent stimulus was received for him due to his age) So my question is, when I file my taxes and list dependents for EIC, do I just list my adult disabled son or can I list my 18 yr old son since he lived with me for 9 months before moving into his college dorm? I am thinking that I should not list the 18 yr old, but didnt want to miss a credit by not asking to be sure. Thanks
