My husband and I have 9 children together. People are always teasing us about allowing them to claim some of our children on their taxes because (they say) we can only claim 2 of them anyways.
First of all I would NEVER do that, I know they are just teasing but what is this about, (us only being able to claim 2 of our children)??? We have always been able to claim all of our children and don't know what the dickens they are talkin about.
Please only serious answers.
Does anyone have any idea what they mean?

I think what people are thinking of is for Earned Income credit. You can claim as many children as you support as Dependents. However, for EIC, you can only take two children.

Either it's more teasing. or they don't know what the heck they are talking about. You can claim all the kids you have whether it's one or 100.
