hey peoples

I'm starting to do my taxes on turbotax based off my last paycheck. I have a dependent child that i am NOT claiming because it is her father's year to claim her. i marked the box that states i am not claiming her but i did fill out the section "you and your family". I qualified for the EIC for only $52. the "making work pay" credit for $400 and the "child tax credit" for $1000.

usually when you claim a dependent child the EIC is like $3000. i just wanted to make sure that i most definitely DID NOT claim her so i dont mess up her Dad's taxes when I file them for him when he gets his w-2s.

does anyone know a lot about turbotax and/or filing taxes to make sure that i wont get into trouble or get audited? im pretty sure i did everything correctly because the EIC was so small... but i thought id ask for some help before filing!

thank you all

There's a stickied tax thread in Off Topic.

You don't want to enter here unless you have body armor on. ;)
