Qualifying Child Rules
- My child was born and only lived 40 minutes. Can she be used as a qualifying child when figuring the earned income credit and the child tax credit?
- Must I be entitled to claim a child as a dependent to claim the earned income credit based on the child being my qualifying child?
- If the noncustodial parent receives permission from the custodial parent to claim a child on his or her tax return, is the noncustodial parent eligible for the earned income credit?
- My wife and I have two children and we are going to file separate returns this year. Can we each claim one child for the earned income credit?
