Is the dependent stimulus based on dependent(s) claimed for Child Tax Credit (CTC) or qualifying child for Earned Income Credit (EIC)?
I am divorced and have custody of my children. Per the decree, my ex can claim one child as their dependent even though the child lives with me all year. Per IRS tax rules that I have read, I can claim EIC because my children, including the child my ex can claim as a dependent, lived with me all year.
Is it correct that my ex receives a dependent stimulus for the child that they claim as their dependent for CTC, not EIC?
Thank you.
