Gail can claim Tony on her tax return as a qualifying child for the earned income credit.
Answer: True (Option a).
Step-by-step explanation:
Tony is Gail's mother. She can claim Tony on her tax return as a qualifying child for the earned income credit. If the child who has to have the claim for the earned income credit, should be your son, daughter, foster child, adopted child, grand child or the step child.
The child has to stay in the home for more than half of the year if he has to have the claim for the earned income credit. Since Tony is also Gail's son and is a full time student under the age of twenty four, he can have the claim of the earned income credit.
