How to file EIC and child and dependent care credit?

[Mansuri]

I am a custodial parent of 2 year old son and he lives with me. I was never married to my son’s father. We have an agreement of claiming our son every alternative years. 

Now my concern is I am paying lot of money into daycare and other expenses.

So how can I claim EIC, daycare credit and dependent care credit while not claiming him as a dependent?

In simple words, is there any particular steps I have to follow while filling online, In a way that I am not claiming him as a dependent but at the same time getting EIC and daycare credit or dependent credit?  Also, If he file EIC before me, in that case I won’t be able to claim EIC?
