I am the father of my child born on August 5 2010.
My girlfriend (the mother of the child, non-married) doesn't work.
The child lives currently at her parents (Her real mom and step-dads) house.
whom which both step-dad and her mother are married, her mother doesn't work.
There is a dispute in which the step-dad and me the dad, works.
I want to claim EIC and so does the step-dad.
Currently, I heard the step-dad can claim him because the child is living over there, but by the end of the tax year, my child won't be there six months.
I am moving into an apartment with my child and girlfriend sometime in late September.
* * * My question is, who would receive the EIC? Is it a first file first serve situation?
Because i wont be living with my child more then six months will i still get it?
Can the step-dad claim my child if the child only lived there for august + half of September?
He plans to take his tax return information to a Tax preparer such as h&r block
I plan to file with turbo tax.
Please someone help me with any assistance to my question thank you all for your answers.
I have read IRS Publication 17, doesn't explain further on the birth of a new child if he lived with the step-parent for 2 months and me for the rest of the year.?
