Remember that the eic may not be claimed by taxpayers who are the qualifying child of another person. pete, who is unmarried and wants to claim the eic, is 18 years old and has a two-year-old daughter who does not provide more than half her own support. they both live with his parents. pete earned $3,000 from a part-time job. logically, which is the first question you should ask of pete? when did you live with your parents during the year? do you receive any form of public assistance? do you have any daycare expenses for your daughter? were you a full-time student?
