Me and my girlfriend have a 1-year old child. We live with my girlfriend's mother. My girlfriend does not work. I work, and I just finished filing my taxes. I did not claim my daughter as a dependent, as we have an agreement that my mother-in-law will claim her. I checked the box that said "a verbal agreement has been made with another family member to claim dependent" or something to that extent. Then, Turbo Tax automatically gave me the EIC, based on my low income. Is this correct? Is it accurate that I'd be eligible for the EIC, even though I didn't claim my daughter as a dependent? Thank you in advance.
