College kid with part time job files his own return and gets stimulus, EIC and AOC.  if I use the drop-down screen correctly and put them as 'could be claimed as a dependent', they don't get anything.

Since the creation of the stimulus, college kids have been getting the stimulus and other credits, simply by filing their own 1040.  I am looking for something in writing that says 'if you could be claimed as a dependent, then you don't get the stimulus or eic.....

The Master tax guide only mentions 'could be claimed' in reference to unearned income, but not for EIC. 

The AOC is specific that only the parent who COULD claim the student can use the tuition expenses
