Can I get the EIC, if my son lived with me until the beginning of July last year?

Yes, if he left after July 2. No if left on or before July 2.

You still have to meet the other rules. A child of a taxpayer can still be a “Qualifying Child” (QC) dependent, regardless of his/her income, if:

1. He is under age 19, or under 24 if a full time student for at least 5 months of the year, or is totally & permanently disabled

2. He did not provide more than 1/2 his own support. Scholarships are considered third party support and not as support provided by the student.

3. He lived with the parent (including temporary absences such as away at school or military training) for more than half the year

If you list him as a dependent then the EIC will be calculated automatically by the program if he is a qualifying person.
