So, I asked a question about this earlier and got great answers BUT I'm confused about what a dependent is compared to an expemtion or qualifying child...aren't they the same thing? I am going to let my mother claim my daughter as her dependent so she could claim head of household (we live with my mom)but i am considering using my daughter for my EIC and Child tax credit....is that allowed? OR letting my mom use her child tax credit because I myself get a EIC correct without children right? Also, i've tried and tried to put my mom as head of household without my daughter as her dependent and it just doesn't let me (on turbotax) because it says you have to have a dependent.
