Tax Prep by Deb Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 Question, I have several clients who are full time students this year but who have worked during the year and are now providing more than 1/2 of their own support therefore not able to be claimed as a dependent on their parents tax return. This year I am using Drake, so I am a little not sure of myself when it comes to California EIC. I know that under federal rule, the fact that the child is a full time student, lives with parent, is the right age, ect…. can qualify the parent for EIC so therefore (especially being they are under 25) not eligible for EIC, however the good state of California changed the age to 18, and I can not find in their rules at all the stipulation that the child cannot qualify someone else for the credit, only that they can not be claimed as a dependent. So Drake wants to give them California EIC. Any other California preparers running into this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
