Federal information worksheet: Is the taxpayer or spouse a qualifying child for EIC for another person? yes or no

What that question means is are you, the taxpayer, or your spouse if filing a joint return, listed on someone else's tax return as their child so that they can qualify for an earned income credit?

This question seems to be asking if I (as the TAXPAYER) am a qualifying child on someone else's taxes?!?

Doesn't that seem to be very unlikely?  I am not a qualifying child.  However, my children are qualifying children.

So then I need to select "Not qualifying child."  Odd.

It could happen that someone with children is also someone else's qualifying child for EIC.
