I hope you don't mind I am posting tax question here. When I refer to "I" in the following question - it's not me.
My Question:
I'm single and live with my girlfriend. We have 2 kids(ours) that live with us. My girlfriend filed as head of household and claimed the kids as dependents. She makes too much money to qualify for the EIC tax credit.
I am filing as single with no dependents and made 11k in wages 8k in unemployment. Should I be able claim the 2 kids for the EIC tax credit? Turbo tax says I can and it boots my return from $1600 to over $6000.
Thanks.
