Earned Income Tax Credit - Qualifying Child?

I've been to the IRS site and I can't integer this out:
I am claiming my half sibling as a dependent, even though he did not live near me. (I provided over half his support.) He lives near his mom. But since he is my dependent - can his mother use him as a qualifying child for the EITC? Please - knowedgable relatives answer only. Thanks!


Answers: No, she can't claim EIC for him if you are claiming him as a dependent. The just way she could do that if someone else claimed him is if the party claiming him was his other parent. See page 236-238 of irs Publication 17 for info - you can download it at irs.gov

At this point you hold more wrong answers here than right ones, by the way. Not unusual, sadly.
You can only claim someone as a dependent if they lived beside you at least 9mos out of the year, "where" you own provided more then partly of their living expenses.
"He lives with his mom". There is your answer: No, you can not claim him even though you remunerated over half of his expenses. How can he be "your dependent", when he lives near his Mother.
Not gonna fly with the IRS hon..
Consider the reality you help support him an investment surrounded by his future, and helping his mom out. Other next that you are S.O.L.
sh_t out of luck.
Your half sibling would be your qualify relative if he did not have earn income over 3,400 and you provided over half of his total support HOWEVER he is his mother's qualify child if he did not provide over half of his own support and beneath the age of 19 at the end of the year or underneath the age of 24 if a full time student.

The parent has the first right to claim him. If she chooses not to claim him they you can claim him.

You cannot split the exemption. Only a custodial and noncustodial parent can split the exemption wherein one parent get the dependent exemption and child tax credit and the other parent if the cusodial parent can procure the EIC and child dependent care credit. This merely applies to parents
"He lives with his mom."

Bingo. He's HER qualify child unless she's a dependent on someone else's return. If she files a tax return for any use other than to acquire a refund of taxes withheld, he's her qualify child and nobody else's. The IRS changed the rules in 2005 and the certainty that you provided over half of his support is MEANINGLESS.

Since he doesn't live near you, and he's already someone else's qualifying child, he CAN'T BE YOUR qualify relative.

You can't claim him. PERIOD. END OF STORY.

How long did it rob for your return?

I heard that it be slow this year. Anyone get their settlement back all the same? How long did it take? Did you e-file?

We e-filed simply today, and my husband is going to buy a car near the refund, so we're hoping it comes soon!


Answers: My daughter e-filed and have her refund automatically deposited into her checking story. It only took just about 2 weeks for her to get her Federal AND her State compensation.
Well my fiance efiled with a import tax office on 1/23 and have yet to receive his NYS settlement. They told him 8-15 business days.
