@Ocala  @Kailef Yes, there is a little known provision in the rules. If the child meets all the qualifying child (QC) rules, except the self support test, he is still a qualifying child for EIC, even though he is not a QC for being a dependent.  So, TurboTax is doing it correctly. 

 @macuser_22  said the same thing earlier ("It also allows claiming the EIC if the child does not meet the dependent test if the only reason is the child's income pays more then half of the child's own support") and ("The EIC requirements do not have a support test like the dependent requirements.  And no age test if disabled").

It wasn't clear that you had picked up on that.
