[mariaefletes]

What Is The Income Limit That A College student Can Make In Order To Still Be Parents Dependent?\
Does the student have to live in the home for the parents to qualify for eic?

[JoshinNC]

A college can't be someone's dependent

Assuming an individual meets all the other criteria to be a qualifying child there is no limit on the income they can earn and still be their parent's dependent. Try checking the rules for a qualifying child in Pub 17.

Has to live in the home

to be a qualifying child except for temporary absences, which include schooling.

[Gretel]

...but if child pays over half of his own support then no dependent exemption for parent. EIC is different, no income and no support limitation.
