Hello,

I have a client that has claimed his son, childcare expenses, and CTC for the past three years.  He and the mother live together but are NOT married.  She is a DIY with Turbo Tax.  This year, I file the father's return as usual, but it is rejected for dependent ssn.  I ask to see the mothers 1040.  The son is on there, filing status is HOH, but she did not receive EIC nor the child tax credit.  My question, is there a code that the father, my client, could use, that would allow him to claim these credits since the mother did not?
