A “Qualifying Child” - A “qualifying child” may enable a taxpayer to claim several tax benefits, such as head of household filing status, the exemption for a dependent, the child tax credit, the child and dependent care credit, and the earned income tax credit. Prior to 2005, each of these items defined a qualifying child differently.

About $3869. The EIC tops out at 2 kids. And you can't file as Single and HOH. You must only choose one filing status.

You should get at least 3000. Im not sure though. I really dont think the 3rd child matters. For ex: if someone with no children put someones kid on there taxes to claim them they always only carry 2. You dont get anymore with 3 than you do with 2 Call State Farm. They usually help

Do I look like H & R Block? Do I have a tax table handy? No. If you have a computer go online to IRS.gov and do your own taxes.
