IHSS Live-In Provider. Can I still claim FIT/SIT exemption and EIC without Live-In Self Certification?

As an IHSS provider/caregiver that lives with the client but have not yet filled a Live-In Self Certification Form (SOC 2298), can I still claim Federal/State Income Tax Exemptions and Earned Income Credit?

 

My client and I live together and it would reflect in our tax fillings as we will have the same address.

Would that be enough proof that we live together?

 

Also, Medical Insurance renewals and State IDs also have the same address for me and my client just in case the government or IRS wants to have a trace.

 

I have received my W-2 and it's written there that I've had my

Federal Income tax withheld

Social Security tax withheld

Medicare tax withheld.

 

Thank you.
