Bjorn (57) wants to claim his son Peter (33) as his dependent and claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). Peter is totally and permanently disabled, has no income, did not provide more than 50% of his own support, and is single. Given these facts, what should the tax preparer do? Explain that a 33-year-old cannot be a qualifying child for the EITC. Ask for proof of Peter's name and age. Advise Bjorn that Peter meets the definition of qualifying relative, not qualifying child, and therefore will not qualify him for the EITC. Ask Bjorn questions and note the responses to fulfill the due diligence requirement and determine if Peter is a qualifying dependent for EITC.
