EITC question interesting situation!

[dtlee]

I am still asking who provided the support for the child? are his parents are related to this child? If they provided more support than the mother did they may have a qualifying dependent. If they qualify to take the child then she doesn't.

For a Qualifying Child, it does not matter who provided the support. The first individuals who are able to claim the child in this scenario are Teen Mom and Teen Dad. They get first claim. I would agree that should both of them decide not to, it may become an opportunity for the Teen Dad's parents (since it appears that this is the home where the baby lived) to claim this child as a Qualifying Child.
