May, maybe not. The Other is for the Child and Dependent Care credit or the Other Dependent Credit. This is because you cannot get the child tax credit for someone over 17 only the Other Dependent Credit.

So, if she is still a qualifying because she is a student under 24, then it doesn't affect your EITC.

If she is over 24 or over 18 and not a student, then yes, it would affect your EITC because she is not a qualifying child.
