How do I not receive an earned income tax credit?

Will I ruin my daughter’s income taxes if I receive earned income tax credit?

[VolvoGirl]

No.  Your return will not affect her return.  If you claim her as a dependent she will have to mark on her return that she can be claimed on someone else's return.

No--why do you think you will ruin your daughter's tax return?    Did you claim her as a dependent?  How old is she?  Is she a student?    Please provide some details.. We do not understand what the issues are.

Can you provide some more details, what is the issue that makes you worry about your daughter's taxes?   If you qualify to claim her, you can.   She can still file her own return.   But if you claim her, makes sure she marks the box that says 'Someone else can and will claim me'

It's an automatic calculation. If if you didn't compute it, The IRS would do so automatically. 

Will I ruin my daughter’s income taxes if I receive earned income tax credit? will have no effect for federal.
