Deductions & credits

Hello Halal,

@Hal_Al 
I need help here regarding Earned income credit and daycare credit.

 

My son is 2 years old and lives with me, he visit his father on alternative weekends. Also We are claiming son on alternative meaning he claims on even and I claim on odd years on taxes. Now my concern is I am paying lot of money into daycare and other expenses.

So how can I claim EIC, daycare credit and dependent care credit? Because according to the agreement I cannot claim my child dependent on his turn. 

In simple words, is there any particular steps I have to follow while filling online, In a way that I am not claiming him as a dependent but at the same time getting EIC and daycare credit or dependent credit?
