lisa would like to claim her granddaughter, amani, as her qualifying child so she can claim the earned income credit (eic). however, amani's mother, taya, is also eligible to claim amani as her qualifying child for eic purposes and would like to do so if she is able. as lisa's tax preparer, what information would you share with lisa? as long as lisa files before taya, she may claim eic based on amani, her qualifying child. lisa and taya may agree to each claim one-half of the eic based on amani, their qualifying child. lisa may claim eic based on amani if her adjusted gross income was higher than taya's. taya holds a higher right and may claim eic based on amani because taya is amani's parent.
