EIC Question Please

cebarber24 — Thu, 06 Jun 2019 08:52:08 GMT

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.

Didn't you ask this question under a different screen nam...

Yes, I did. But I'm getting conflicting information, so I'm not clear on what to do. The response to my previous question leads me to believe that I'm not eligible, but you're saying that I can still qualify. Could you please tell me if I qualify, based on the details in my question? Thanks in advance.....

You can still qualify for EIC without a dependent.
