I received a notice saying we may be eligible for EIC and to fill out form 15111. One of the questions asks about dependents- if they have lived with us more than 6 months in 2019. Our daughter was born in Sept of 2020, I am assuming my answer should be no, by want to verify.

You actually can answer YES.  That question is worded badly- if your daughter was born in September and lived with you the rest of the year the answer is Yes, because it really is all-of-her year.  They should ask by percentage of time using more than 50% of the year.

Thank you! Even though it says in 2019 and she was born in 2020? 

 

I'm not sure why it says 2019 when the notice says for 2020 tax year.

I would ignore that question. Should not have an impact on your tax return.
