A divorced couple have been alternatingly sharing a dependent for some time on a form 8332 that has been in existence.
The child is now an adult,23, full time students living on campus. The custodial parent(mother) is supporting the student, the father is not.
In 2008 the Father whose turn it is to claim the dependent under the
8332, has been laid off and income not qualifies him for the EITC.The Student has not lived with the father at all, nor receives support.
Does the 8332 qualify the Father for the EITC alone?
